Freeman Public Schools is using a calendar provided by "rschooltoday". It is designed to give greater detail to events and to make changing/adding events to the calendar easier. Here are some basic instructions for use:
1. Simply click on the CALENDAR link from the Freeman website. What you will see is what events are scheduled for that day at Freeman.
2. There are advanced options that make this calendar useful to parents, students, staff, and district patrons.
Advanced Option 1
To find when a particular event is scheduled to occur, (i.e.- Homecoming Dance), simply scroll on the View Schedule box at the middle right side of the page. Click on the event and then click the VIEW button below it. You will get the date and other relevant information about that event. This works for all events listed in the View Schedule box.
Advanced Option 2
To find out what is happening on any particular date, click on that date in the calendar in the top right hand corner. If the date is not underlined, no activity is schedule. To find the month you are looking for, click > to scroll forward one month at a time, click < to click back one month at a time, click >> to scroll forward one year, and click << to scroll back one year. OR you can select the specific month from the VIEW box at the top right above the calendar. For example, if you scroll to August, 2014, and click on the 26th, you will see there is a JV/V softball game at Zion Church vs. Friend starting at 5:00 pm.
Advanced Option 3
This option is the one to use if you like to print out your calendar.
Begin by clicking the Go To Advance View button. Go to the bottom of the gray screen and chose a time period you want to view. For example, you can select MONTH and choose, August, 2014. Once you do this, click the SHOW ACTIVITY REPORT button at the very bottom of the page. Then click SHOW REPORT.
You now can select how you want to see the monthly report. By changing the view in the top right, you can select Monthly View (calendar style), Day/Date (detailed information by date of each event) or Date Condensed. If you select Date Condensed, you will then be prompted to List Each Schedule Separately or Blend Schedule Together By Date.
The rschool today calendar is also used by the Activities Department for contracting officials for contests, for scheduling busses, etc. This calendar has been adopted by all ECNC schools to also allow for consistency and improved communication between schools.
