There are several ways to create Calendar events for your clients. The simplest way is to use the “Add New Meeting” button in the toolbar on a Parent's or Student’s profile page.
You can also add an event to your Calendar on the “Calendar” tab or in the daily view of the Calendar on the Dashboard.
You can set up "Alerts" to be sent as reminders to yourself and also to both parents and students. Additional options allow you to set when the alert should be sent. Students will receive an email and a text message (if they’ve linked their mobile phone with their account). Calendar events created for students may also be included in the Time Tracker log.
Once the calendar event has been created, you can also send an email notification of this upcoming event to parents and students. Simply click on any meeting from your calendar or from their profile, and click "Send Email". Next, select who you would like to receive this email (student and/or parents) and press send email once more.

Note: These settings affect all calendar event, including those scheduled via the scheduling tool.
