A New Website Feature: Google Calendar:
When you now visit the
school’s website and go to the calendar page, you’ll see a
new Google Calendar for school events. We have added this
service so that you can stay up-to-date with school events
no matter where you are, and no matter what electronic
device you have. Part of this service includes the ability
for you to subscribe to this calendar if you already use the
popular Google Calendar service. This would mean any future
events added to the calendar will be added to your Google
Calendar, as well.
This calendar feature will serve as the new calendar for the school for a number of reasons:
1. Updates and calendar changes: This calendar will display event changes and additions as soon as the school announces them.
2. Printing options: If you still need a printed copy of the school calendar, you can do so from the calendar page. You have the option of printing these Daily, Weekly, Monthly. Just look for the 'Print' option and follow the steps.
3. Subscribe feature: If you already use Google Calendar as do our faculty and students, you can subscribe to this calendar. This feature will automatically update your calendar as the school one is updated--meaning any changes we make will automatically show up on your calendar. To subscribe to this calendar just click on the "+ Google Calendar" icon on the bottom right.
4. Going Green: The school means to reduce its impact on environmental concerns by reducing paper use wherever possible.
