BACK TO SCHOOL - PART 2 - CALENDAR SUBSCRIPTIONS

Today the planners arrived! Most anyone will tell you that I love my paper planner as much as (if not more than) most teachers, however digital calendars can be extremely helpful in staying organized and up to date.

STEP 1: HOLTON CALENDARS

Subscribe to the “ical” feeds from the Holton web calendars so that they will appear alongside (or overlaid) with your personal calendar in Outlook.  If any changes or updates are made to a calendar on the website, they will automatically be updated in your Outlook calendar. I recommend at least subscribing to the 14-15 Rotation, your division calendar and the Faculty/Staff calendar.

STEP 2: CLASS SCHEDULE

Did you know that you can also subscribe to your class schedule through the student database? The student database (Veracross) provides the ability to easily pull your class schedule directly onto your Outlook calendar. No longer do you have to manually create each class period as an event on your digital calendar.

STEP 3: ALERTS

Finally don't forget to subscribe to emergency alerts! You'll thank me for this reminder this winter when you are alerted to the first snow day!

Are you ready for the fist day of school? As always, please let me know if you have any questions!
