Athletic Notifications

Alyssa Harden

I have a few people that I want to receive notifications when there are any changes to athletic events. However, they are not parents, but rather our transportation department, and the Dean's office. Does anyone have a way that they get the notifications, like a parent gets if they sign up for them? Any advice is welcome! Thank you.

In my answer there are two steps:

1 - Subscribe to the team's calendar and add to your personal calendar

2 - Set up Event notifications within your calendar program (google or apple for example)

NOTE: Athletic games sometime change at the last minute and calendar feeds, and thus their subscriptions, can take up to 24 hours to update. For example, if a game change is an hour before the game, their calendar feed may not update in time to get a notification.Step 1:

Directions we give to subscribe to the public facing team:

CALENDAR: How do I add an Athletic Team's calendar to my personal calendar?

Note: this will be a live feed - any updates will reflect on your calendar.

There are two ways to subscribe to an Athletic Team's Calendar:

From the public website
Navigate to the Athletics calendar:
https://www.shschools.org/page/athletics/athletics-calendar
Use the filter to select the team you are interested in and populate your view with only your chosen team's events (you can select multiple teams).
Find the iCal feed button.

Either:
- Right click (control click on a Mac) and select Copy Link Address for google calendars. Go to your Google Calendar and beside the My Calendars section, select Add by URL to paste the Link Address into your new calendar.
OR
- Click directly on the iCal feed button to subscribe onto your default calendar program (for example on your smartphone).

Step 2:

Search support within Google or Apple calendar for subscribing to event notification:
