How do I set up a club's meeting schedule?

A club's meetings come from one or more schedules. Open the club's page and find the Schedules section (it only appears for clubs), then add a schedule. When you save it, ClassroomParent creates a meeting for every occurrence between the start and end dates — you don't add meetings one at a time.

A schedule has these fields:

  • Start date and time — the date and time of the club's first meeting.
  • Duration — how long each meeting lasts. Combined with the start time, this determines the end time of every meeting (15-minute steps up to 2 hours, then 30-minute steps up to 12 hours).
  • Meeting schedule (recurrence) — how often the club meets, for example "Weekly on Mondays and Thursdays" or "Every other week on Wednesdays."
  • End date — the last date the club meets, typically the end of the grading period or semester.
  • Primary, rain, and dinner locations — where the club meets (see the separate help topic on club meeting locations).

A club can have more than one schedule. Add a second schedule when part of the year runs on a different pattern, or when a subset of meetings happens at a different time or place.
