ClassroomParent can import calendar events that apply to the whole school using an iCal file. If you are getting the events from another system, this is often a format that can be exported from that other system.

If you would like to build a set of events manually, do the following:

1. Create a spreadsheet with the following columns: Subject, Start Date, Start Time, End Date, End Time, All Day, Description, Location
   1. Start Date & End Date should be in the following format: dd/mm/yyyy, i.e 10/22/2019
   2. Start Time & End Time should be in the following format: hh::mmam/pm, i.e. 5:30pm
   3. All Day should be either “TRUE” or “FALSE”
   4. Location can be an address, room location, or any text string that describes where the event is taking place
2. Save the file as a CSV (one of the Save As options from Excel)
3. Use https://csv-to-ical.chimbori.c... to convert the CSV file to an ical formatted file
4. Import the file into ClassroomParent using the Admin/Import feature and choosing Calendar as the type.
