“Subscribe to Calendar” creates a dynamic link that receives automatic updates from the calendar, allowing you to view the latest events in your personal calendar. "Add to Calendar" creates a static, one-time copy of a single event onto your calendar. Therefore, subscriptions are for continuously updated event feeds, while "Add to Calendar" is for saving specific, individual events. 

Use “Add to Calendar” for events like breaks, faculty in-service days, or special events, like Grandparents and Special Friends Day, that are unlikely to change. Use “Subscribe to Calendar” for all other events that could change, like a school dance or CFN event.

If you want to ensure you don’t miss a thing, subscribe to the “Chartwell Community Calendar” so that all Chartwell events will populate to your personal calendar.

All app users will automatically receive push notifications (listed as "Important Notifications" in the Notifications section). You cannot opt out of these because they are important and typically time-sensitive, like a reminder about a noon-dismissal day.

App users can additionally opt in to receive notifications that are non-urgent and not time-sensitive, like The Bulldog Bark. 

In the case of an emergency, Chartwell will send parents and caregivers a text, call, and email first. A push notification from the app may be sent as an additional means of communication, but it will not be the primary way we inform you.

If you have any questions regarding the app or experience technical issues, please email Kat Hewitt, communications and digital assets manager, at khewitt@chartwell.org.
