The Toddle calendar on the web portal provides an intuitive way for family members to stay informed about upcoming school events. This article provides an overview of using the Toddle calendar to track and manage your child’s academic schedule.
Navigating to Calendar
Start by navigating to the ‘Calendar’ card on the family member’s homepage.
Here, you can view all school events and tasks specific to your child’s classes, neatly organized by week. Class tasks are displayed in specific time slots, while school-wide events appear at the top and are not tied to any particular time slot.
The left panel displays tags for assignments, as well as school-wide, which they can toggle on or off based on what they wish to view. Please note that family members cannot create, modify, or delete these tags. The ‘Class’ filter at the top allows you to view assignments tagged to specific classes. You will only see the classes your child is enrolled in, and you can select the specific ones whose tasks you wish to see.
By selecting a specific task/event, you can view detailed information about it, as configured by your teacher. For example, in the image below, a learning experience is selected, displaying the task’s due date, the date when submissions will open, and the date after which submissions will not be accepted, as highlighted below.
Additionally, you can view the teacher’s name who assigned it, and access more details by clicking on the ‘View’ button.
Furthermore, visual indicators will alert you when the due date or submission close date for an assignment has passed. In the example below, you can see that a banner appears indicating that submissions are closed, while the due date is highlighted in red, signaling that it has passed. This allows you to stay on top of deadlines and manage your submissions efficiently.
Project tags for IBMYP, IBDP, and IBCP
In addition to the general tags available in the calendar, certain tags are exclusive to the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP).
For MYP, tags for Personal and Community projects help you manage and monitor your child’s respective deadlines.
For DP and CP, the tags cover Internal and External Assessments, Extended Essay, TOK Essay & Exhibition, Collaborative Science project and Reflective project, ensuring that all significant deadlines are easily trackable.
Viewing options
Toddle offers flexible calendar viewing options, allowing you to switch between agenda, weekly, and monthly formats for efficient schedule management. This feature provides a comprehensive overview of both short-term tasks and long-term planning.
Agenda view: Displays a day-wise linear, scrollable list of upcoming tasks and events, along with their time slots (if applicable). This view is ideal for quickly reviewing your child’s schedule without navigating through a calendar layout. By default, the list starts from the current date, but you can use the date switcher in the top-left corner to view events starting from any past or future date.
Weekly view: Provides a detailed breakdown of your child’s schedule for each day of the week, displaying specific tasks, events, and class activities. This view is ideal for organizing daily activities and keeping track of specific time slots. Use the date switcher in the top left to navigate to your desired week.
Monthly view: Provides a broader overview of the entire month, highlighting key dates, holidays, and events without specific time slots. This view is ideal for long-term planning and identifying major events or deadlines at a glance. Use the date switcher in the top left to navigate to your desired month.
Explore the Toddle Calendar to keep track of upcoming tasks and events, and manage your child’s schedule with ease.
