The Toddle calendar on the web 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 lets you 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.
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), 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.
By selecting a specific task/event, you can access detailed information about it. For example, in the image below, a quick task is selected, displaying the task’s due date, the teacher who assigned it, and the list of students it is assigned to. Additionally, there is an option to view the task in more detail by clicking on the ‘View’ button.
Viewing options
Weekly/Monthly switcher: Click on the date range or arrow keys at the top to select a weekly/monthly timeframe. You will see the weekly/monthly timeframe depending on the current view of your calendar. Use the ‘Today’ button to return to the current date.
Weekly view: Provides a detailed breakdown of the schedule for each day of the week, displaying specific events, and class activities. This view is ideal for organizing daily activities and keeping track of specific time slots.
