CalendarFly to offer free community calendar integration for Philadelphia Charter Schools

Though there certainly are plenty of options for keeping track of calendar appointments with software like Microsoft Outlook and online services like Google Calendar, there hasn’t been a good way to integrate the calendars of different stakeholders across communities, like public schools.

CalendarFly, a 2009 GoodCompany Ventures graduate, hopes it can solve this problem.

“I remember desperately needing a better education organizational tool when I was in middle school and high school,” Chief Executive Officer Drew Aldrich says. “I was annoyed that there was no effective way to get my friends and family to connect to my calendar intelligently.”

With CalendarFly, teachers can post homework assignment deadlines and test dates to an online community calendar. Administrators can post important events and reminders there. Coaches can submit practice schedules and matches, meets and games. On the other end of distribution, students can add their own appointments. And where it becomes most tangible—Parents are able to view all of the calendars online or on thier mobile device.
