Online Vernfield Calendar

The link to the 2023-2024 Vernfield "Subscribed" Calendar is below. This is an easy way to keep up to date with events and days off at Vernfield without hand-entering them!


Please keep in mind that this is a subscribed calendar maintained by Home & School. Every effort will be made to keep it up-to-date, but the Vernfield printed and online calendar (Vernfield website) are the official school calendars. The subscribed calendar includes the dates of events most relevant to all families; grade-specific events and activities are not included.


When you click on the link, many calendar apps will provide you the option to 'subscribe' to the calendar, so that any updates to the calendar are automatically updated on your phone.


If your phone instead downloads the events onto your calendar, the events will not update automatically. If you don't receive the option to subscribe to the calendar when you click the link, please try the following:


  1. Go to calendar.google.com on a PC (not on a mobile phone), after logging into google
  2. Click on the cog in the upper right and click on settings
  3. On the left panel, scroll down until you see “add calendar” and click the down arrow and click “from a URL”
  4. Paste the .ical URL that is listed in this message and click “add calendar”
  5. You should then have the option to open the subscribed calendar in your calendar app
