These Google Calendars are hosted through the Sagamore Hills PTA Google account, owned by admin@sagamorehillspta.org, editable by the sagamorehillspta@sagamorehillspta.org group, and publicly viewable.

Instructions for simply viewing/subscribing (what most folks want) are on the Sagamore calendar page.

List of Calendars

Separate calendars are used to allow end-user filtering.

Edit

To simply view the calendar (and not be able to edit the calendar), see the Sagamore calendar page.

The following instructions allow you to edit the Sagamore calendar as if it were your own (also know as "sync"ing) if you have a Google Account (not necessarily a Gmail address) and are in the sagamorehillspta@sagamorehillspta.org group.

  1. Log into Google Calendar
  2. Add the Calendar ID (listed above) to the "Add a coworker's calendar" box (under "Other calenders").

iOS (iPhone/iPad)

After adding the Sagamore calendar to Google Calendar, follow the directions at, "Sync Google Calendar with your iOS device".

Generic

Use the following addresses to access the Sagamore calendars from your application of choice.

iCalendar (ical) format

or

Website

Use the Google Embeddable Calendar Helper.

If you want to get fancy, check out the jQuery Google Calendar Flow plug-in.

Here's an example appropriate for the sidebar of the Sagamore Hills PTA website circa August, 2013.

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showTabs=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=AGENDA&height=393&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23ffffff&src=sagamorehillspta.org_oj8q0h49li5ovc3dp8f114ngr8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%238C500B&ctz=America%2FNew_York" style=" border-width:0 " width="262" height="393" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Or an example for the Calendar page

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?title=Sagamore%20Hills%20Elementary%20School&showTz=0&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=sagamorehillspta.org_s7rl2pce7ls9c4s5qbboav4qa4%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23182C57&src=sagamorehillspta.org_oj8q0h49li5ovc3dp8f114ngr8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%238C500B&ctz=America%2FNew_York" style=" border-width:0 " width="604" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
