A Shared Calendar for Your Private School
Exam weeks, chapel services, half-days, admissions events — synced to every family's phone. No app to download. No parent portal to check.
Create Your School Calendar — FreeSound familiar?
It's 7:40 AM on a Thursday. A sophomore shows up in street clothes when every other student is in dress uniform for the all-school assembly. His mom checked the school website last week but the calendar hadn't been updated yet. Now he's sitting in the office waiting for someone to bring him a spare blazer.
Midterm exams start Monday. The schedule was emailed three weeks ago — a PDF attachment with rotating blocks and early dismissals. A parent calls Friday afternoon asking what time pickup is on Tuesday. You pull up the email, find the PDF, open it, and read them the line. You've done this four times today.
The spring gala fundraiser is the school's biggest event. Invitations went out by mail and email six weeks ago. Two days before the event, a board member mentions that three major donor families never RSVP'd. Turns out the emails went to spam and the mail got tossed with the junk. Forty thousand dollars in potential donations, nearly missed.

Here's what private schools typically share with families:
What this looks like in practice
Margaret, the head of school, has her assistant enter the full academic calendar in July — every exam period, every holiday, every half-day, every chapel service. It takes about 40 minutes for the entire year. The link goes on the school website before orientation.
Tom, a father of two students in different divisions, subscribes to three calendars: Lower School, Upper School, and Athletics. On a Sunday evening, he opens his phone and sees the whole week at a glance — his daughter's field trip on Tuesday, his son's midterm on Thursday, and the varsity soccer game on Friday. No digging through emails or PDFs.
In February, a nor'easter forces the school to cancel classes on a Wednesday. Margaret's assistant updates the calendar at 5:30 AM. By the time parents check their phones, the closure is already on their calendar. No phone tree. No chain of confused texts. Everyone knows.
How iCalFeed compares
vs. School website calendar
Parents have to remember to check it. Most only visit the site during admissions season.
Events push to their phone automatically. No website to visit.
vs. PDF calendar attachments
PDFs get buried in email. Parents can never find the right version.
Live calendar that always shows the latest info. No files to open or save.
vs. Parent portal (like Veracross or FACTS)
Parents forget their password, rarely log in, or ignore the notifications.
Events appear in the calendar app they already use every day. Zero extra logins.
vs. Weekly email digest
Twelve paragraphs of text with dates scattered throughout. Easy to miss the important ones.
Each event is a separate calendar entry with date, time, and location. Simple to scan.
