⚠️ Important Notice About Google and Outlook Calendars

Please note: If you are using the SchoolsBuddy iCal link to sync events with Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar, updates may not appear immediately.

These platforms do not refresh iCal feeds in real-time, and it can take up to 24 hours (or longer) for changes to sync. This delay is due to limitations in Google and Microsoft’s systems, not SchoolsBuddy. For the most reliable syncing experience, we recommend checking your SchoolsBuddy 2.0 App.
