Section Calendars allow individual departments and groups within your school to maintain their own dedicated calendars alongside the main school calendar system.
What are Section Calendars?
Section Calendars are specialized calendars designed for specific sections of your school, such as:
Math Department
Counseling Services
Athletics
Drama Club
Band Program
And any other section or department
Each section can have only one Section Calendar, which appears on your public website within that section's area.
Who Can Access Section Calendars?
Any user account that has access to manage a particular section will automatically have access to that section's calendar. This means if you can edit pages in the Math section, you can also manage the Math section's calendar.
Managing Events
Section Calendar events work exactly like School Calendar events. You can:
Add new events
Edit existing events
Delete events
Set recurring events
Add event details and descriptions
Important Note: Google Calendars cannot be imported directly into Section Calendars. If you need to import a Google Calendar, use a School Calendar instead, or embed the Google Calendar directly on a page within your section.
Finding an Existing Section Calendar
Navigate to the section where you expect the calendar to be located
Look for the calendar listed alongside the pages in that section
If a calendar exists, it will be clearly visible in the section's content list
Adding a New Section Calendar
Follow these simple steps to create a Section Calendar:
Step 1: Access the Section
Navigate to the section where you want to add the calendar.
Step 2: Add New Content
Click on the Add Page button in the page section.
Step 3: Select Calendar
In the Add Page menu, click on Calendar to create your Section Calendar.
Step 4: Add Your First Event
In the Calendar feature, click on Add Event to create your first calendar entry.
Once you've added at least one event, the calendar will become visible and remain permanently accessible in your section.
Tips for Success
Start with one event: Your Section Calendar won't appear until you add your first event, so create a test event to get started
Coordinate with your team: Make sure all section members know they can access and edit the calendar
Keep it focused: Use Section Calendars for events specific to your department or group
Use School Calendars for school-wide events: Reserve Section Calendars for section-specific activities
