The Calendar feature allows you to share important school events with families in a clear and timely way. Events you create are visible in parents' mobile apps and can be added directly to their personal calendars.
Creating a New Calendar Event
-
Navigate to the Calendar page in your admin or teacher role.
-
Click the Add Event button located in the upper-right corner.
-
A pop-up window will appear where you can enter the event details:
-
Date and Time: Set the start and end time of your event (e.g., Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.).
-
Description (optional): Add a detailed description for parents. This can include arrival instructions, pick-up locations, or other key information.
-
Attachments (optional): Upload any relevant files you'd like to include with the event—such as flyers, forms, or permission slips.
-
-
Once complete, click Create.
The event will now appear on your school’s shared calendar and will automatically be made available to all relevant families in the parent mobile app.
What Parents Will See
When a parent views a shared event in their mobile app, they will see:
-
The event name, date, and time
-
The description if included
-
Any attachments
-
A button to add the event to their personal calendar (i.e. Google Calendar or iCal)
This ensures families stay informed and can easily keep track of school-related events.
Additional Notes
-
Calendar events are a great way to communicate early release days, school closures, field trips, and more.
-
Events are only visible to families if they are shared at the time of creation.
