Catch school deadlines. Bring school dates and action items together.
What you can get
What it is
Checklist
A dated checklist of school events, deadlines and required parent actions.
It came back right when
- Every deadline names the notice or page it came from.
- Dates match the original notice, including the year.
- Forms that need a signature are separated from dates that are only informational.
- Nothing already past is listed as upcoming.
- No calendar entry was created before you approved it.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Prepare
School emails
- Ask and review
Provide the school messages and district website.
- Check the result
Every deadline names the notice or page it came from.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- School notices arrive in one mailbox and the school publishes its dates on a site.
- You want a dated list you can check against the originals.
- You will approve calendar entries rather than have them appear.
Does not work when
- The dates live in a parent portal or an app it cannot reach.
- The notices are photographs of paper letters, which are easy to misread.
- A missed date has a real consequence and you need certainty rather than a checklist.

Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- School notices may change; check the original before acting.
- Calendar connection and permission are account-dependent.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before it starts: confirm which mailbox and which school site are in scope.
- Before entries are created: check each date against the notice it came from.
- Before you rely on it: confirm nothing was dropped because a notice was a PDF or an image.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- A deadline arrives with no source attached
- Ask which message or page it came from. An unsourced date in this list should be treated as unconfirmed.
- Last year's dates appear
- School sites often leave old calendars up. Give it the current term's page explicitly and state the school year.
- A notice was skipped entirely
- Check whether it was an attachment or an image. Those usually have to be supplied as text.
