Share With Your Teachers: Add to Calendar

Are you reminding parents about an upcoming event? Add a calendar entry to your post to make it easy for them to add it as an event to their calendar. When creating a post, click “Calendar Entry/ RSVP” in the sidebar (or, if you’re creating from the ParentSquare mobile app, click the calendar icon).

Adding a calendar entry to your message allows parents to easily add the date/time to their personal calendar. You can even add a reminder to the calendar entry!
