A user navigates the SMUS calendar on their cellphone

You can now subscribe to the school calendar to see and receive updates to only the SMUS events that are relevant to you in your personal calendar app.

Create a personalized calendar of the categories that you need (e.g. Middle School Athletics; Senior School University Visits) and only those school activities will show up alongside all of the other important items in your calendar.

Step 1 - Select Your Subscriptions

  1. Go to the Export Calendar webpage on SDS.
  2. Select the calendar items to subscribe to. Students and parents should click on Calendar Events to personalize their calendar subscription.
  3. In addition to the specific Junior, Middle or Senior School categories you select, we encourage you to also select 'School Events' and 'Parents' Auxiliary'.

Step 2 - Copy Your Unique Calendar URL

  1. Copy (CTRL+C) your unique calendar URL from the Export Calendar webpage. It will appear in the box as a link that begins with: https://sds.smus.ca/export_calendar/.

DO NOT USE THE  Export Calendar  BUTTON, AS THIS CREATES A STATIC CALENDAR THAT CANNOT UPDATE.

Depending on the device you are currently using, you may need to email your unique calendar URL to yourself to have the URL accessible for Step 3.
