So here’s a great look on this screen of a facilities calendar of a specific number of gyms in a school district. But you can choose not to show who’s using the space, it can just show as booked or reserved so that people can see that there’s things going on in the school, or if they’re looking at book space that’s used, but not necessarily see who’s using that space. That’s amazing, and you can also have this calendar share with your community. It just gives them so much great information right at their fingertips even right on the app. So if there’s an emergency in your high school they could listen, I’ve got the musical going on the in the auditorium with an expected 40 kids there from three o’clock, five o’clock, at the same time I’ve got a basketball game going on in the gym, and at the same time I’ve got a club meeting in one classroom, and I’ve got the girl scouts from town meeting in a separate classroom in the school. I also highly recommend sharing something like this with your local law enforcement, so another great example would be God forbid that there’s an emergency in a school district and the police have to be involved, they literally can go onto the app and know in a specific building or specific location in the building exactly who’s supposed to be there. Superintendents love this, principals love this, they can literally go onto an app and see everything that’s happening in the district in one location. It allows for an app that you can see all events in one place. So it really allows for one amazing calendar. In my facility, I’ve also, if you thing about the school day or right after school, I may have somebody who runs the chess club who wants to use the gymnasium or who wants to use a cafeteria or an auditorium or some space, and we need to make sure that we’re not double booking space. As an example, I’ve got a varsity basketball game in my main gym at 7 o’clock on Friday night in January, but I’ve also got a recreation group that wants to request space to use that same gym on certain nights. One of the things that I know as an athletic director is it’s difficult and it’s a pain point for so many districts, that you have separate athletic scheduling programs from whatever you’re using to book facilities for internal groups, external groups.Īnd so you’re looking at two separate calendars right. It speaks to our activity scheduling program in real time, and that’s a lot of the magic. This is an amazing program that basically allows you to have internal and external groups schedule space.
