What is DynaCal?
DynaCal is our schools' online Calendar System, which allows a quick and easy way to schedule all events.  All the events are scheduled in DynaCal, and it instantly updates the online calendar for your convenience.  You can view our online calendar at www.dynacal.com/npsusd373.  You can also narrow the view of events for specific departments, schools, or other featured calendars we have created for quick access.

The online calendar provided by DynaCal is used to effectively communicate school and athletic events, announcements, updates and more.  The My DynaCal feature offers instant communication by sending you emails and/or mobile phone text messages* in case of cancellation, postponement, or rescheduling of an event.

By setting up a My DynaCal profile (instructions below) you will be able to:

• ▪Enter your contact information
• ▪Select which types/categories of events you would like to receive notifications about
• ▪Create customized views of school events, based on what your children are involved
• ▪Create multiple calendar views based on each child’s involvement
• ▪Share those calendar views via email with anyone that would like your child’s schedule

*Mobile carrier charges may apply for text message alerts.  Be sure to verify your text message options and rates on your mobile plan.
