The Staff Calendar

The staff calendar is a read-only view of the school calendar, showing all events and categories. 

The staff calendar is a similar format and style to the standard SOCS public facing calendar with some differences with the events and categories it displays. 

The table below highlights the difference between the SOCS public facing calendar and the Staff Calendar:

The school's public facing calendar is designed for parents and includes only published events, and does not include internal only categories.

The Staff Calendar is designed to share with members of staff who benefit from seeing a view of  calendar events with varying statuses but do not need a SOCS user account.
