The Organization Event Calendar allows you to add events that take place for an entire Location or across your entire organization. Examples included: Graduation, Spring Break, Teacher Workday, Thanksgiving Holiday. These events will display on the event calendar and will also show a conflict for any schedule request entered for those dates. *Note: Only Administrators can add items to the Organization Event Calendar.
