Schoology Calendar Guide for Administrators

Using the Calendar feature in Schoology, you can create a calendar that has all the school's important dates. You can even add when certain classes are out on field trips or if there are special events in the school that everyone should be aware of.  

There are two options for creating an event for the calendar. You can either create an event from the home page, which will be available to all staff and students in your school, or you can create an event for groups/courses.
