School calendars going online

The New Richmond Exempted Village School District will not be sending out printed calendars this year.

"We are putting the school calendar online this year," said Adam Bird, superintendent of schools. "In addition to the savings in printing and postage ($8650 in 2010) it will allow us to keep the calendars up to date."

In the past the calendars had to go to the printer in July in order to be delivered by the start of school resulting in many inaccurate dates due to late schedule changes.

"You cannot predict in July what's going to happen the next April," said Bird. "Now our calendars will always be accurate."

The district calendar is available at this link http://www.nrschools.org/Calendar_Page.htm. The district calendar may be viewed by the week or month in calendar or agenda formats. Viewers also have the option to print monthly calendars or save them to the computer in PDF format.
