How to input a new event into the calendar
The teachers and the administrator can input different types of events, such as tests, field trips, theatre performances into the calendar.
Click on the day of the event and press the + sign to add a new event.
Select type of event. The events are grouped by type. Every type of event has a default setting whether it cancels the regular lesson or not.
This default setting can be changed. If the event cancels the regular lesson, students' attendance can be recorded.
Examples of adding events:
