The calendar lets you share school events with parents and staff through the App. Events appear on the App calendar so community members can plan ahead. This feature is available on Standard, Advanced, and Premium plans.

Calendar → Create Event

How do I create a calendar event?

1. Go to Calendar → Create Event. A pop-up screen will appear.

2. Enter the event title (for example, Staff Meeting or Sports Day).

3. Set the start and end date and time. Tick Full Day if the event lasts all day.

4. If the event repeats, choose how often: daily, weekly, monthly, or annually.

5. Enter a location. The portal will suggest addresses from Google Maps as you type.

6. Choose which Group(s) can see this event, or select Everyone.

7. Add any notes (for example, Please bring last meeting's action list).

8. Tick the reminder box if you want members to receive a push notification the day before the event.

9. Click Create Event.

Tips

• Events in messages: You can also add an Event component directly inside a message — this is useful when you want to combine an event invitation with other information in a single communication.
