My Calendars
 My Calendar, a personal calendar
application, is a tool to help parents and students stay on top of daily events
and better manage their time. Using My Calendar, you can subscribe to and
receive homework and school event information in the form of a calendar on your
desktop computer. With My Calendar, you can:

assignments, grades, school events, and more.

within a single unified window to quickly identify schedule conflicts and
pockets of free time.

Do list.
