CalendarFly Helping Schools, Helping Families
PALM DESERT, Calif., March 23 -- CalendarFly, the free web-based scheduling service designed for schools and families, today announced a new nationwide partnership program to help schools generate revenue and enhancements to its core product.
CalendarFly will debut at DEMOspring 2010 in Palm Desert today. DEMO features emerging technologies and new products, which are hand-selected from across the technology marketplace. Matt Marshall, Executive Producer of DEMO, said, "CalendarFly is an exciting solution to two important problems - it makes educational software available to schools everywhere, regardless of means, because it not only brings the cost to zero but also generates revenue for schools. And, it gives families one place for their entire schedule, updated automatically."
CalendarFly unites academics, athletics, and after-school schedules with parents' personal calendars. CalendarFly differs from traditional online calendars by working directly with schools. CalendarFly offers schools a way to increase homework completion and parental involvement by providing students a free, easy-to-use online interface to see all homework, tests, projects, game, practices, and after-school activities. By building an educational software platform that works equally well for families, parents no longer need to seek homework and test schedules--they are delivered directly to parents' personal calendars. With CalendarFly, the only events parents have to enter or update are events they themselves create--truly, Life Organized.
"CalendarFly allows me to finally merge my family's events, activities and commitments. My book club and appointments, the kids' sporting events, homework assignments, music class and more... all at my fingertips with virtually no more manual entry. CalendarFly is my dry-erase board, paper journal and online calendar in one!" says Mary Ann Bekkedahl-Parent.
The new release of CalendarFly takes educational software to the next level.
-- The user interface has been redesigned to offer a more streamlined
view that incorporates even more activity into the user's at-a-glance
view.
-- CalendarFly's new Full Enrollment Platform allows schools, districts,
and organizations of any size to pre-create accounts, groups, and
relationships. Using this tool, a school can be up and running in 24
hours with every student and teacher in the right class and each
parent connected to the appropriate child.
-- Through CalendarFly's new nationwide revenue sharing partnership
program, schools will have access to the most powerful organization
and parent-involvement tool available for free and strengthen their
bottom lines. Over the next 3 years, CalendarFly's goal is to generate
over $1 million for schools.
