NOTE: With the advent of Canvas, the way we use Google Calendars has changed. Please see this document for an explanation, flowchart, Venn diagram, and examples.
Google Calendar is a very powerful tool for organizing and keeping track of schedules. There are many features that are obvious in their use and some that aren't. The first recommended place to look, as with all Google Apps products, is the official G Suite training materials provided on each G Suite page via the beach ball-question mark icon.
More MVS-specific information can be found below.
Since granting users mvschool.com G Suite accounts, we have begun to manage the public Google calendars with our official mvschool.com G Suite accounts. To gain access to edit the information on a public Google calendar, please let the tech department know of your needs and they will grant you access.
If you want access to someone's personal calendar, read the next section.
If you do not need edit access (see above) for one of the school's public Google calendars, but would still like to view its events, you can "subscribe" (Google's terminology) to any MVS public Google calendar using its specific URL (see the list of URLs below). Subscribing adds the calendar to the list of calendars you can see on your own Google Apps for Education Calendar page.
N.B. See this Google help page to learn how to subscribe to a public calendar: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37100
These calendars are meant for MVS employees, but are able to be subscribed to by anyone with an MVS Google account. To add one of these to your personal Google Calendar, copy the URL for the calendar that you want below. Then, on the left side of your google calendar below the box titled "Other calendars," click the "+" (or "Add other calendars") and select "From URL." Paste the link you copied into the "URL" box.
