Adding Google Calendars to Apple Devices

In addition to the Haldane calendar, some classes use Google calendar. I know this to be true for the 5th grade.

Apple devices require a little extra work to get Google Calendars to appear on your Apple devices. Here is how to do it:

Add Google calendar(s) to your Apple computer

1. On your computer, open Apple Calendar

2. In the top left corner of your screen, click Calendar > Preferences.

3. Click the Accounts tab.

4. On the left side of the Accounts tab, click Add +.

5. Select Google > Continue.

6. To add your Google account information, follow the steps on the screen.

7. On the Accounts tab, use "Refresh Calendars" to choose how often you want Apple Calendar and Google Calendar to sync.

You may need to explicitly tell Google to sync your Haldane classroom calendar with the Calendar on your Mac. Follow these steps:

Sync other calendars

1. On your computer, visit the Calendar sync page.

2. Check or uncheck the names of any calendars.

3. In the bottom right corner, click Save.

4. When you're done, refresh your calendar.

Add Google calendar(s) to your iOS devises (iPhone/iPad)

You can sync Google Calendar with the Calendar app that comes on your iPhone or iPad.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open your device settings.

2. Scroll and tap Passwords & Accounts.

3. Tap Add account > Google.

4. Enter your email address > Next.

5. Enter your password. If you don't have the latest operating system and you use 2-Step Verification, enter an app password instead of your regular password.

6. Tap Next.

7. Emails, contacts, and calendar events will now sync directly with your Google Account. To sync only your calendar, turn off the other services.

8. Open the Calendar app on your iPhone to find your Google Calendar events.

As above, you may need to explicitly tell Google to sync your Haldane classroom calendar with the Calendar on your device. See the "Sync other calendars" section, above.
