Overview
The Events Calendar can be used to show upcoming important events over the next 60 days for the School and District to Users, Parents and Students. It can also be used for individual Users, Parents and Students to add their own events to the calendar. The Events page can be accessed at the School or District and will display the events created at that School on the users Home page or the Portal Dashboard calendar. District Events will show at all Schools, but School events will not show at the District.
Security ↑
All Users will be able to view the Events Calendar on their Home page and be able to add their own Events, but to see the School Events or District Events pages they will need the appropriate permissions to School/District Events (EVT).
