Copied 2015-09-09 to the Sagamore Google Drive ([1])
These Google Calendars are hosted through the Sagamore Hills PTA Google account, editable by the sagamorehillspta@sagamorehillspta.org account, and publicly viewable at http://sagamorehillspta.org/calendar .
Instructions for simply viewing/subscribing (what most folks want) are on the Sagamore calendar page.

List of Calendars[edit]
Separate calendars are used to allow end-user filtering.
| Name | Description | Calendar ID |
|---|---|---|
| Sagamore Hills Elementary School | The main calendar where everything should be if there's no reason for it to be elsewhere | sagamorehillspta.org_oj8q0h49li5ovc3dp8f114ngr8@group.calendar.google.com |
| Historic | Prior years' events can be imported to this calendar before deletion to provide historic reference | sagamorehillspta.org_mbkpl0es3ip6jp16bsrhi5rj1o%40group.calendar.google.com |
New year[edit]
Update the school calendar—"Sagamore Hills Elementary School"—to include only the upcoming school year's events. Move old events to the "Historic" calendar for future reference. You don't want to delete the prior year calendar and start new because everyone would then need to update their calendars with new calendar locations (URLs).
It can be done a number of not-so-staight-forward ways. Here's one.
- Export last years' calendars' ics files (Google Calendar on the web, calendar, Calendar settings, ics link) and upload to PTA Google Drive (for backup)
- Import last years' calendars' ics files into the "Historic" calendar (Google Calendar on the web, Other calendars, Import calendar) and update copy (revision) (of "Historic" Calendar) on PTA Google Drive (for bakcup)
- Connect to the school calendars that need bulk old event deleting, like "Sagamore Hills Elementary School", with a calendaring program that lets you connect read/write to a Google Calendar and do bulk deleting of old events (I've used Thunderbird or Evolution)
