Tandem for Schools

Everything your school or district needs to schedule events and stay connected to your community.

Use Tandem to schedule all of the events in any of your facilities, like the sports games, drama performances, club meetings, internal staff meetings, facility rentals by outside groups and more. Keep parents, students and community updated automatically through email, text messages, digital calendar subscriptions and RSS feeds.

All events in one place

Districtwide calendar = no double booked facilities

When Tandem is used by every school in a district it becomes a powerful facility management system, automatically warning users when they might double book facilities anywhere in the district. This means that each school can schedule their events, like Parent-Teacher nights, on the Tandem calendar knowing that they haven't interfered with another event. Districts can also integrate internal events, like weekly principal meetings, or external events, like school board meetings, into the Tandem calendar.  Tandem isn't simply a district calendar, its a solid facility management system as well.

Automatic updates for parents

Parents want to be kept in the loop. Tandem helps!

Tandem allows parents to receive event updates to specific groups in which they are interested.  This "tracking" provides them with automatic updates when details change by email or text message.  Baseball game rained out? Automatic email. Drama performance moved to another date? Text message sent. Live RSS feeds of events for any group may also be tracked in an RSS reader.  Keep parents (and students) informed in real time, using their preferred communication method, with Tandem.

News / photos

Post photos and news about events

Tandem provides your district or school with the ability to approve and post news and photos about specific events. Parents and students can subscibe to the news feeds of just the groups they want (like the basketball team) and check out the school or district-approved news and photos via RSS.

Transportation integration

Simplifiy your transportation structure

Tandem enables you to request and allocate events and transportation. Have multiple trips going on at once? Tandem Plus will prevent bus and driver conflicts. And runaway fuel costs? Manage them with solid accounting features that help you manage each and every trip.

Subscriptions to your digital calendar

Works with your existing calendar apps

Tandem gives your internal staff, parents and students the ability to receive school or district information in their digital calendar of choice, like Outlook, Apple iCal, Cozi, Google calendar, Yahoo calendar, 30 boxes, and Windows Live.  Get everything you need in one place - Tandem makes life easier.

Directions to every event on the Tandem Calendar are provided automatically by Google Maps.

Display as little or a much info as you want

Tandem gives your school or district the ability to display as little or as much event information as you want. If you only want specific users like parents to see the sports practices, you can do that in Tandem.  If you want to show an event's time and date but not the location, you can do that in Tandem.

Integration into your existing website
