Tandem keeps you connected

to the groups and events you care about most at your school and district.

Tandem keeps you connected to what matters the most to you - what's going on with your children at school. Parents, students, teachers and community members can all track events in their digital calendars, get email or text message updates, read approved news stories about events and view approved photos of events at school. With excellent communication comes a stronger community. This is what Tandem can do for you.

Let your school know about Tandem!

Email / text message alerts

Stay up to date, no matter what

As a Tandem calendar subscriber, parents and students are kept up to date automatically with email, RSS or text messages. Simply subscribe to the group or groups you want to track, like the drama club or sports teams. When events from these groups are updated, you will be instantly notified. Baseball Game rained out? Automatic email. Drama perfomance rescheduled? Automatic text message. Simply choose your own favorite communication tools and you will stay up to date, no matter what.

Calendar subscriptions

Get event information in your favorite digital calendar

Tandem provides parents and students with the ability to subscribe to a group's events with a digital calendar of their choice, like Outlook, Apple iCal, Google Calendar, Windows Live, Yahoo Calendar, Cozi, 30 Boxes, etc. Find the group or groups which you would like to track. Click the "add to my calendar" button and synchronize directly with your calendar. If this group's schedule ever changes or adds new events, your digital calendar will update automatically. It's really easy to track sports or any activity of interest to you and your children.

RSS feeds of news

Stay up to date with RSS feeds

Tandem helps schools communicate with parents and students through RSS (really simple syndication) feeds about events.  RSS feeds can be synchronized with your PC or phone to keep you totally up to date.  Stay current with Tandem RSS feeds.

Read and submit news stories

View and submit news stories for your school to post

Parents and students can submit news stories to schools and districts that use the Tandem calendar.  After designated staff approves, these news stories will appear as part of an event on the Tandem calendar!  Stay up to date on the latest news about events.

View and Submit Photos

Stay up to date with event photos and submit your own

Parents and students can view and submit photos about events on the Tandem calendar. Once designated staff at the school or district approve, check out your photos from events right on the Tandem calendar!  Stay up to date on all the event photos.

Privacy for your family

Tandem helps schools and districts restrict access to information

Tandem helps schools and districts restrict access to sensitive information.  Staff and parents can be given permission levels that are different than the community at large.  Schools or districts can choose to show event dates and times but not locations on the calendar.  There are many ways schools and districts use Tandem to ensure that just the right information is posted about any event.

iPhone / smart phone integration

Stay in the loop while you are on the go

Since Tandem helps schools and districts communicate to parents and students in email, RSS feeds, digital calendars and text message alerts, you can stay in the loop while you are on the go by synchronizing Tandem event information to your iPhone or Smart phone.

Free to use

No cost for parents, students and teachers

Tandem information is available at no cost to individual subscribers.  This means no fees for parents, students or teachers who want to take advantage of the online calendar, digital calendar feeds and notifications.

My Tandem

Customize Tandem for your personal needs

Tandem school and district calendars include information about many events.  You can subscribe only to groups you care about, like the drama club or baseball team, and either subscribe to that group's event information with your personal digital calendar, or Tandem will create a customized "My Tandem" calender just for you. Only the groups and events you care about will be shown and automatically updated on your "My Tandem" calendar web page. No clutter, never too much information, just what you want when you want it.
