We understand that there might be some instances when you do not know the end time of the event. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to create an event without specifying a start or an end time. As a workaround, here is what you can do:
    1. Add a start or an end time that is close to when you are expecting the event to start or end.
    2. Add a message in the “Details” section to let the parents know that the time you set is a tentative one.
    3. Start a conversation with the parents by clicking on the messaging icon on the upper right side and send them an update about the event.




 

  1. Review the details and click Preview. 

  1. Click Done

 

Pro tip: We recommend sending an Announcement for the event so all teachers and parents will be notified.
