Activity Scheduler - User Guide for Parents (2013-14)

We use the rSchoolToday™ Activity Scheduler as our School Calendar, as it provides significant advantages to our school and community. Because it is web-based, we can provide you instant access to the most up-to-date information at all times.   You can push schedules to your phone, tablet, or computer and they will automatically update with any changes. You can also sign up for instant notifications and reminders, via email or text message.

Here is a quick snapshot some of the key features.

Viewing Schedules
To create a personal calendar, hold down the ‘control’ key on your computer keyboard and click all the schedules you want to see, then click on the View button. For Mac users hold the open-Apple key.

If you have a pop-up blocker on your computer, the first time you try to view a schedule, it may not open up. You will need to ‘always allow pop-ups from this site.’ Then try it again.

This pulls up a combined schedule of all the activities you selected. Now, you can push those schedules to your phone, tablet, or computer.   Your phone, tablet, or computers will auto-update with any new events or changes made by the school (see below).

When viewing Schedules:
After you click on View, you have many options:

11	12	13

14	15

11. You can print schedules.
12. Email schedules. This sends a link with the latest version of the schedule. You can also attach a file of the schedule to the email, but it’s MUCH better to only send the link.
13. Subscribe to schedules. This will let you push the initial schedule plus all added events and changes to your iPhone, iPod, iPad, Droid, Outlook, Google Calendar, iCalendar, etc.
14. Choose multiple ways to view the schedules, including the classic Month view calendar.
15. Download a file of the schedules to various file formats.

NOTIFY ME! Automatic notifications and reminders

Click “Notify Me” from the main calendar screen (see #6 above) and follow the instructions to subscribe to schedules and get text messages and/or email notifications for  reminders before events and for schedule changes.
