We introduced an 8-day rotation on the Hill campus in the 2022-2023 school year. As a result, it is much harder to schedule recurring meetings as you can no longer use a day-of-the-week recurrence, and need to be on the 8-day rotation. We worked with a developer to create a Google Calendar Add-On that makes this process much smoother and it is pre-loaded in all Riverdale user's Google Calendar. Here's how to use it.
Start in Google Calendar on the web in your preferred web browser.
This will NOT work from mobile.

SELECT SPECIFIC DATES: You don't want to repeat every "Day x" in the cycle, but want to pick specific ones.
CREATE FOR EVERY OTHER DATE: You just want to meet every other "Day x", i.e. every other Day 4.
CREATE SERIES: Create for every "Day x" within the dates you selected.
