Adding new Calendar entries is a crucial task to make sure parents have open access to the schools Term Dates and general happenings throughout the year.
Often however, this ends up resulting in parents being spammed with notifications/emails to let them know that new events have been added to the calendar. Normally, this is perfectly fine however, at busier times of year, such as end of year when you are adding next years term dates) this can become a bit overencumbersome for parents.
To add these dates without notifying parents;
1. First open your Calendar.
2. Next, click on New Event down the left hand side.
3. This will then provide a pop up. Here, start by adding your event Title.
4. Now select the group you wish this event to be shared to (Note: You can select multiple if needed).
5. Then select the Type of event this is.
6. In the Description box, enter in any additional/further information you wish/need to add to the event.
7. Then you must select the Dates/Times this event applies to.
8. This is the most crucial part. If you do NOT wish for your parents to be notified, ensure that this option is left greyed out/turned off. Turning it on will result in parents receiving notifications regarding the creation of this diary entry.
9. Click Publish
