At a glance

One calendar

Terms, exam weeks and the school’s own entries together, nothing typed twice.

For the right people

Each entry is for staff only, for parents, or for everyone.

Reminders

Parents are reminded of an entry 1 to 60 days before, once.

On every phone

A feed parents add to their phone calendar; each teacher has their own with lessons and duties.

Planning the term

Set the term once, everyone sees it

Add the term’s holidays, tests, visiting days and meetings. The term dates and published exam timetables are already on it.

  • Kinds of entry: holidays, school events, exam weeks, visiting days, meetings, sports and games.
  • All day or with times, over several days if needed.
  • Visiting days with times families book, for boarders only if you choose.

Questions

What schools ask us

Do parents see staff meetings?

No. An entry for staff only stays on the staff calendar.

Can parents add the calendar to their phone?

Yes. Turn on the school’s feed and share its address; their phone calendar follows it.

What if a date changes?

Change the entry. Phones that follow the feed take the new date, and the reminder is sent for the new day.

Plan your next term in it.
