How to create a calendar event
1. Go to Plan > Calendars in your CMS dashboard.

3. Under Choose at least one category, select the calendar(s) where this event should appear. You can check multiple categories simultaneously.
4. Enter the event Title.
5. Set the From Date, Start Time, and End Time. For non-timed events (like holidays), check All day event / no time.
6. (Optional) Select a Repeat rule (Daily, Weekly, Monthly) for recurring events, and enter a physical Location.
7. (Optional) Add Details using rich text formatting, insert a direct link to an online registration or permission form in the Link field, or attach accessible documents under Attach files and pictures.

đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tip: For events requiring registration, permission slips, or volunteer sign-ups, paste the direct URL of an online Edlio Form into the Link field (or hyperlink it inside the Details box). Digital forms ensure full WCAG 2.2 accessibility on mobile devices, eliminate un-remediated PDF download barriers, and allow parents to submit responses instantly.
