Each LPS user has a personal calendar in Zimbra.  A user’s calendar should contain event data for the individual including meetings, reminders, birthdays, etc.

A personal calendar is not the place to create a school-based meeting calendar such as the IEP meeting schedule, room reservations or even the master calendar for the school.  We call those ‘types’ of calendars Resource Calendars because the information on the calendars are resources for others @ the school.

Any time a school or group has a need for a calendar to contain event data that is not specific to ONE person, then a helpdesk ticket should be entered with the following information:  Calendar type, Calendar administrator email address, additional email addresses of those that would ADD events to the calendar.

There are three MAIN types of resource calendars that have been created for many schools (not all have requested). (The list below uses Park Middle School as the Example School PAR)

  1. PARstu – Student-based events such as IEP meetings, MDT meetings, Student Services meetings
  2. PARfs – Facilities Use Schedule event tracking
  3. PARmeetings – Staff-based events such as Staff meetings, PLC meetings, Committee meetings, etc

Some schools are also using Zimbra for their Parent/Community published Calendar.  Example: Cavett Elementary
