As part of the county website guidelines, each teacher should have their Google calendar embedded in their website. This process has several steps, but once it has been set up will save you lots of time and trouble.

• On the right of the "My Calendars" area click the drop down and select "Create New Calendar"
• Name this calendar "Website Calendar" to set it apart from any others you may have
• Check all the boxes in the Sharing Settings to make your calendar Public
• Click "Create Calendar"
• In your calendar list, go to the dropdown next to the Website Calendar and go to "Calendar Settings"
• Make the necessary adjustments to the calendar settings and then highlight and copy ALL of the HTML code in the box.
• Open your school webpage and navigate to the calendar page.
• Switch to Design Mode and click on the Edit button in the upper right corner of the content box where you want the calendar to appear.
• When the editing pane opens, scroll to the bottom and click the HTML tab and paste in the code.
