To Intand was on TechCrunch recently for their partnership with Cozi to launch the site SchoolCal.org which provides parents with information on online school calendars and lets them vote to encourage their school to consider implementing an online school calendar.

From TechCrunch:

It can be a struggle for parents to juggle their kids’ school events, games and conferences and it’s becoming increasingly common for parents to use web services to manage family calendars. But schools still remain stubbornly disconnected from parents online. While more and more schools are turning to the web as a platform, less than 5% of schools, both public and private, are offering parents internet school calendars.

While we don’t think schools are being stubborn, we do want to let schools and parents know about the tremendous benefits that an online school calendar provides. SchoolCal.org describes some of these benefits such as:

  • Access to school calendar information anytime you need it.
  • Parents can be immediately notified of schedule changes, like snow days or baseball rain outs.
  • Parent can sync school events to their current web calendar like Outlook, Cozi, iCal, Google Calendar, etc.
  • Plan vacations, after-school activities, and appointments more easily.
  • Eliminate accidental double bookings on your calendar.
