ADD REID TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS CALENDAR TO YOUR PERSONAL GOOGLE CALENDAR

With Google Calendars you can easily add calendars to merge appointments so that your personal calendar shows all activities in one place.  This is a great time management tool for our busy parents and guardians.

ADD ENTIRE RTS CALENDAR TO YOUR PERSONAL CALENDAR: 

With Google Calendar, it is easy to add calendars together so you can have all of your data in one place.  Follow the instructions below to merge all dates and activities listed on the RTS calendar into your personal calendar:

  1. To add the RTS Google Calendar to your personal calendar, simply login to your personal calendar, (if you don’t have one, refer to instructions above)
  2. Click the Add button below the Other Calendars box in the left column
  3. Select Add by URL.

ADD A SINGLE RTS EVENT TO YOUR PERSONAL CALENDAR:

Some people prefer to add only certain school activities that are pertinent to their personal schedules and would prefer not to add the entire RTS calendar to their personal calendar.  If you’d like to add only relevant information, this can be done on an event by event basis as follows:

  1. Click on RTS Google Calendar
  2. Hover over the item listed on the calendar that you want to add to your personal calendar and a pop-up window will appear with the event details.
  3. Click copy to my calendar
