How to get rSchoolToday into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook

Rschooltoday can give you a calendar link (an iCal or “.ics” feed). Subscribe to it once and new games, moves and cancellations show up on their own.

Steps

  1. School athletics site: View Schedules → choose sport and level → Subscribe (green iCal button) → copy.

Then add the link to your calendar

One catch: Google Calendar only re-reads subscribed links every several hours, sometimes up to a day, so a last-minute time change can show up late.

Got more than one team or app?

Most families end up with rSchoolToday plus a few others: another kid's team, a second sport, the school calendar. FamilyCal combines them into one calendar, free:

Questions

Where is the RSchoolToday calendar link?

School athletics site: View Schedules → choose sport and level → Subscribe (green iCal button) → copy.

Why don't RSchoolToday changes show up right away in Google Calendar?

Google Calendar re-reads subscribed calendar links on its own schedule, every several hours and sometimes up to a day, and there's no button to make it refresh. FamilyCal can connect to Google Calendar or Outlook and write events straight in after every sync, so changes show up in minutes.

Can I combine RSchoolToday with other teams and the school calendar?

Copy the calendar link from each app (see the guides), paste them into FamilyCal, and subscribe to or connect the combined calendar. Each kid gets their own color-coded calendar, plus one for school days off.
