Google Calendar

The TBES calendar is a public Google Calendar and can be added to your own Google account and your iGoogle homepage. Google Calendar is a great tool for busy families. With your own Google Calendar account, you can create your own calendars and keep your events private while seeing the public TBES events on the same page.

• If you don't have a Google account, you can sign up for free at calendar.google.com by clicking Create an Account.
  
  
• If you already have a Google (Gmail, iGoogle, or any other Google service that requires login) account, you can easily sign up for Google Calendar. Go to calendar.google.com and log in with your Google username and password.
  
  
• To add our Tierra Bonita calendars so they show up in your own Google account, log in to your Google Calendar account, click the Add button above My Calendars in the left hand pane, choose Add Public Calendar, and type "Tierra Bonita" in the search box at the top of the page. We have 3 separate calendars: one for school events (days off, testing schedules, etc), one for PTA events (school events and programs, sign-up form deadlines, meetings), and one for ESS. Almost all events and sign-ups are on the PTA calendar (since it's the PTA that sponsors these programs), so don't forget to add the PTA calendar! When we add or edit events, the changes will show up automatically in your calendar.
  
  

iGoogle Homepage

If you'd like to use Google as your homepage, you can customize it with a feature called iGoogle, and see calendar events on your homepage. Look below for instructions.

• Go to google.com and sign in (or Create an account now if you didn't already create an account as described above.)
  
  
• If you haven't set up an iGoogle hompage, you'll probably be at the "Classic Home" and see the Google logo and search bar. Look at the upper right for a link that says "iGoogle" and click it.
  
  
• This is your customizable iGoogle homepage! Click Add stuff on the right, and in the Search for gadgets box, enter "Google calendar."
  
  
• Google Calendar, The Official Google Calendar Gadget should be at the top of the list. Click the Add it now button, and then click Back to iGoogle home in the upper left. Your calendar is on your page, and if you've already added the TBES public calendars, you should see all of our upcoming events.
