Parents are able to easily update their contact information on file with the school as well as what is listed in the online community directory within the Parent Portal.

• Scroll down to the "Address" or "Contact Information" sections of the Profile tab
  • Click the "Pencil" icon to edit information
  • To remove contact information completely, click the grey "X" button

If you are viewing a calendar that combines events from various categories (Ex. School Calendar) you can use the "Calendar Tools" to remove calendar categories that do not apply to you. This personalizes the view of the calendar, so when you return to the page the calendar will only display the categories you have selected.

First, you should login to the website to ensure that the "Calendar Tools" you select are saved. If you update the calendar tools without being logged in, the next time you clear your browsing history, your preferences will be lost.

Next, navigate to the calendar you would like to filter.

Scroll down the page to "Calendar Tools" and uncheck unnecessary calendar types. Then click "Update Calendar".

If you would like to subscribe to a calendar(s) to receive alerts or reminders about upcoming events, click the orange "Alerts" button in the upper right hand corner of the calendar you are interested in.

This will open up a pop-up box where you can select which calendar you would like to subscribe to. Be sure to adjust the reminder settings, circled below, to indicate when you would like to receive the alert (Ex: 30 Minutes Prior, 1 Day Prior, etc.)

When you are finished, click "Update Settings"
