We have completely rebuilt our integration between your schedule in Veracross and Google Calendar this year due to hybrid learning and our more complex scheduling needs. There are some main changes you'll notice:
* Events are NO LONGER repeating. This means that you cannot (easily) color-code them, but you CAN copy them now!
* Events will now include the URL to your virtual meeting if you enter a Zoom or Meet link for your class in the Employee Portal.
* If you have a class that meets in more than one physical space (classroom+tent) then that will show in the Location field for the event (relevant really just for Hill folks)
* Athletic events will now show up in your calendar too.
* There will no longer be duplicate events for classes that have both MS and US students.

We create events in your Google Calendar for every single class and meeting time that shows up in your printed schedule (for MS and US courses only) as well as all Athletic events. Seriously.
