The challenge

Campus dates get buried under clunky plugins and chaotic pdf files

School heads and communication officers spend hours answering the same date queries. Most school calendars dump dozens of untagged meetings onto a tiny grid that breaks on mobile screens, leaving families frustrated and uncertain.

  • Static PDF schedules that become outdated the moment a rehearsal shifts
  • Crowded wall-grid widgets that squeeze text until event titles truncate
  • No clear visual separation between athletic fixtures, rehearsals, and term breaks
  • Critical weather closures and bus notices lost inside general email blasts
Why it matters

Sensible category filters

Parents toggle quickly between lower school plays, varsity sports, and board meetings without wading through irrelevant dates.

Single-column agenda flows let busy guardians check pickup adjustments and recital halls cleanly from their phones.

One-click date syncing

Simple iCal and webcal links let faculty and families add full term schedules or single items directly to their own calendars.

Calm emergency alerts

High-visibility notice ribbons sit quietly at the top of every page, ready for severe weather or sudden schedule changes.

Good to know

Before you get in touch

Can parents subscribe to only their child's grade level?

Yes. We build category filters so families can export a customized feed containing only the grades or arts programs relevant to their household.

How do our staff update dates when weather changes things?

Your team edits the event directly in the content manager. The adjustment updates the website immediately and pushes out to subscribed external calendars.

Does this require an external subscription calendar service?

No. We build directly into your existing content management system, avoiding recurring third-party widget fees and keeping styling consistent.

Will the schedule look legible on smaller phones?

Yes. The calendar shifts automatically into a vertical agenda stack on smaller viewports, avoiding cramped monthly grids and truncated titles.

Can we display map links and parking directions for away games?

Each event detail template includes structured fields for campus map pins, parking instructions, check-in requirements, and ticket notes.
