Calendar Subscriptions Offer Simple Way to Stay Organized
By using Durham Academy's iCal calendar subscriptions, parents, faculty and students can easily add continually updated event feeds to their calendar client of choice with just a few clicks. You may add as many or as few calendars — ranging from your child's class schedule or assignments, to division-specific activities and athletic team schedules, to Middle and Upper School rotational calendars — as you wish to any calendar client that accepts iCal feeds.
Locating iCal Feeds of Interest
There are three places where you can find iCal feeds, depending on your needs:
- Veracross offers iCal feeds that are specific to your child, including their class assignments, class schedules and some extracurricular activities.
- The links below include a variety of iCal feeds that are not specific to any one student, like schoolwide, divisional and Family Association calendars.
- You can subscribe to calendars for specific athletics teams on da.org.
Calendar feeds that are specific to your family:
- Log into your Veracross Parent Portal at https://portals.veracross.com/da. Look for the green "Subscribe to Calendars" button under "School Links" on the right. You can also directly navigate to the Calendar Subscriptions page.
- Here, you can find feeds for your household, your child's class assignments, and your child's class schedule.
- If you prefer to use Google Calendar, you may check the "Subscribe Using Google Calendar" to have all subscription links use Google Calendar automatically.
- If you prefer to use a different calendar application, you can find the iCal link by clicking "Subscribe" beside your desired calendar(s), which will bring up an iCal URL. If you are using an Apple device, you can choose to subscribe via this dialogue box. If not, you can simply copy the iCal URL and enter it in your desired calendar application.
