The school's calendar reaches every class, and every person

Every class has its own calendar, and every teacher, student and parent has one that gathers all of their classes. What the school writes — a holiday, an exam date — flows down to everyone, with nobody typing it twice.

  • Day, week and month views
  • Assignments and exams appear on their own
  • Holidays come from the school calendar

What it does

One calendar, on three layers

Nobody moves a date from one place to another.

  • A calendar for every class

    Created with the class itself, holding its sessions, assignments and exams.

  • A calendar for every person

    Gathers all of a teacher's or a student's classes into one calendar.

  • The school's calendar above both

    The office writes a holiday or a school-wide date once, and it appears in every calendar.

  • Families see what belongs to their children

    A student's calendar reaches the free family app.

  • What you create lands in the calendar

    A homework due date, an exam date, a video meeting.

  • Event types, and filtering them

    Session, assignment, exam, holiday, meeting: show what concerns you.

How it connects

Nobody writes a date twice

An event is born where it is made — in the exam, the assignment, the meeting — and then travels on its own to everyone it concerns.

How the layers connect

The school writes once, the rest inherit

The school's calendar writes to everyone, a class calendar writes to its students, and a person's calendar gathers what belongs to them. One direction, so two dates never disagree.

  • A holiday is written once, and shows up for everyone
  • A session shows only to the students of its class
  • Each person sees their whole day in one place

Who sees what

One calendar, four windows onto it

Each sees what belongs to them, from wherever they already work.

  • The teacher

    • All of their classes in one calendar
    • Adds a session or a date to their class
    • Sees their classes' exams before setting a new one
  • The student

    • Sessions, homework and exams in one place
    • Knows what is due this week
  • The parent

    • Their children's calendar in the family app
    • Knows the exam date before asking
  • The office

    • The school calendar: holidays and events
    • Writes once, and it reaches everyone

The difference

An ordinary calendar, and one that knows your school

By an ordinary calendar we mean what schools use today: an email calendar, or a sheet on the wall.

  • Who writes the event

    An ordinary calendar
    The teacherThe teacher, date by date, after creating it somewhere else.
    String
    StringWhat is created on String appears in the calendar on its own.
  • Who sees it

    An ordinary calendar
    Whoever you shared the link with, and remembered to share it with.
    String
    The class's students, their families and the office, each what concerns them.
  • Holidays

    An ordinary calendar
    Added to each calendar separately.
    String
    Written once in the school calendar, and every calendar inherits it.
  • When a date moves

    An ordinary calendar
    You tell everyone yourself, and hope the news lands.
    String
    It changes in one place, and changes for everyone.

An ordinary calendar has its place, but it does not know your class, your exam, or your students' families.

Yes, and in both directions.
