The School Calendar

Before the start of the academic year, set up the School Calendar. These are often shared with Parents to keep them informed of important dates and events. As an Admin, you can create and view all school events on the    School Calendar.

With Springring, there are two types of events.

1. Group Events
   
   
2. Event Posts

Group Events vs. Event Posts

Group Events are events set up by the admin only. These types of events do not appear in any School Board or Class. Group Events are tagged directly to a specific Group. They will show up directly in the Calendar to all users that belong to that group. For example, a Group Event tagged to Senior School, will only be seen by staff, parents, and students that belong to Senior School.

Event Posts are events that can be created by either Admin or Teachers. These are seen as posts in School Boards or Classes. They will appear in the feed to staff, parents, and students. Learn more about post types here.
