New Online Event Calendar

Do you know where your kids are supposed to be next Thursday at 7:00?  Did you ever forget it was school picture day for your children?  If those questions apply to you, then Pampa ISD’s new dynamic online event calendar may be the answer you’re looking for.

In an effort to help bridge the home-school connection, Pampa ISD has recently implemented a new online calendar system to help improve communication with parents, students, and the community at large.  The district calendar may be accessed on the district’s web site, www.pampaisd.net, from the “Parent Information” section.  Both students and parents are able to see events from all campuses at the same time or select specific categories in which they have an interest.  Users may also go to each individual campus calendar to view only those events pertaining to that campus. The calendar has a very intuitive interface allowing the viewer to see color coded events by campus and/or sports categories.

Although each event shows typical information such as the name of the event, its location, start and end times, etc, the power of this calendar goes even further.  An event, or multiple events, may be selected by marking an adjacent checkbox.  After the selection is made, the user can then click on a button at the top of the calendar which will allow that event to be added to their personal computer calendar.  As if that were not help enough, there are selections at the top of the calendar which will also send an e-mail reminder or a text message to the user’s cell phone as an event draws near.

Pampa ISD invites you to go to its web site often to check on events that may be of interest and explore the power of this exciting new technology. Click here to launch the new online calendar.
