2. Click the blue + Add Block button (or use the inline block picker).

3. Select Events from the block picker modal.

4. In the block configuration settings, select which calendar categories to display (or choose All Calendars).

5. Set the number of upcoming events to show (typically 3 to 5 items) and choose your display layout.

💡 Best-Practice Adoption Tip: On your school's homepage, upcoming events are typically built into your custom homepage theme design. For interior departmental pages (such as Athletics, Counseling, or Performing Arts), add an Event Block filtered to that specific calendar category alongside related News Blocks to give families a dedicated schedule hub at a glance.
