campus activities such as use of athletic fields and teacher sign-ups

events, including ASB and PTA calendars (and how to share these with
the staff and/or community).

Set up an automatic email reminder for your calendar (under "Calendar Settings" and Notification). 2. Set up a TwitterMail address, and send the email notifications there.

3. Copy the URL of the RSS feed on your twitter account (this is usually a link at the bottom of the right hand column on your twitter page). Now, add the RSS feed to a gadget on your website. You will now have an automatically updating bulletin on your webpage - generated by events on your Google Calendar!
