As staff members throughout School District 21 begin
preparing for the coming school year, lots of time is
spent in calendars marking down important events for
students, parents, and ourselves.
Of course, all staff members benefit from using your Exchange calendar. Staff members with laptop or desktop computers assigned to them individually can benefit from using Entourage or Outlook as their Exchange applications, and all staff members can also access their Exchange accounts via webmail.ccsd21.org. These calendars are great for sharing with one another and creating meetings in efficient ways that the majority of participants can attend because their schedules have been pre-checked for availability. To learn more about the specific features of the calendars in Outlook 2007 and Entourage 2008
While the calendars in Entourage and Outlook are great for productivity and keeping organized as a professional, these calendars are not designed for specific publication in newsletters or for distribution to parents and students.
So, how do I create a calendar for students and parents?
Microsoft Office 2008 comes with pre-created templates built right-in, and these are a great way to get started in a variety of projects. Included among these are templates for building calendars as pictured below.
