Holidays & events
The school calendar everyone shares.
Add events for the people they concern and holidays for everyone. Registers and reports follow the holidays you set.
Events
For everyone, or just the people it concerns.
Mark who an event is for: everybody, staff, parents, or chosen classes, sections, members of staff or parents.
Your event types. Name your own event types, each with an icon.
Each event
Dates, a picture and the details.
An event has a title, a type, a start and end date, an optional picture and remarks. The list shows each event’s audience, dates and who created it, and an end date before the start is refused.
Switch one off. Turn an event off without deleting it, and back on when it is confirmed.
On the dashboard
What is coming up, on everyone’s dashboard.
The dashboard’s event calendar lists upcoming events and holidays, or shows them on a month grid. Each person chooses which view it opens on.
Holidays
Holidays the whole system respects.
A holiday is always for everybody, and attendance cannot be marked on it.
Public holidays added for you. Public holidays arrive when the app syncs. They are locked locally, since edits would be replaced on the next sync.
Always current. The app checks daily whether the public holiday calendar has changed and only downloads it when it has. The page shows when holidays were last updated.
A reminder the day before. With scheduled jobs running, staff get a notification the school day before a holiday, and on Friday for holidays from Saturday to Monday.
Yes. Add school-specific closures, such as mid-term breaks, as holiday events. Public holidays arrive through sync.
No. Synced holidays are locked, because any local change would be replaced on the next sync.
