Note: Make sure to only include information that anyone can see on this calendar. If you would like to create calendar that only parents or other teachers can see, you can choose to share that calendar with them explicitly instead of making it public.



Once you have set up your class calendar, click the Create Calendar button to save it. You can create multiple calendars for classes departments or external events. Just repeat the steps above for each new calendar. Each Calendar that you create will appear under My calendars.
