Frequently Asked Question

The district has many shared calendars that are accessible by all staff. Each school site has a unique shared calendar--these will be used to receive information on upcoming functions and events for that school. Some departments also have their own dedicated shared calendars, such as Special Education.

Everyone at that site, or within that department, also has the ability to create entries in these shared calendars, so they should be used when you need to add something to the school schedule, place a reminder for everyone else to see on a particular day, or make a reservation in a computer lab.

Two sets of instructions follow: one for the Outlook for Windows program, and one for Outlook for Web which is the web browser version of Outlook. These will show you how to add a shared school/site-based calendar resource to your personal calendar view. 

Outlook for Web

Step 01) Go to https://mail.cuesd.com or click the Email icon on your web browser's dashboard.

Step 02) Click the apps "waffle" in the upper-right corner of the screen, then click the [Calendar] icon.

Step 03) Right-click the Other Calendars menu item in the left-hand column of Outlook Web, then click [Add public folder to Favorites].

Step 04) Select the public calendar you would like to add (AMS Public as shown in the screenshot below) and then click the [Add to Favorites] star at the top.

Step 05) You will see a message saying something along the lines of "The folder 'AMS Public' was added to Favorites in Calendar." Click the [X] in the upper-left corner to return to the app.

Step 06) The public calendar you added will now appear in your list of subscribed calendars. Regular-click a calendar to turn it on or off. Note that you may enable multiple calendars at once--in the image below, the following calendars are enabled: Personal (labeled Calendar), ML Public, CDS Public, and AMS Public.

Outlook for Windows

Step 01) In the bottom-left corner of Outlook, click the [Folders] icon.

Note that newer versions Outlook are laid out somewhat differently--you will need to click the ellipsis, or three dots, and then click [Folders].

Step 02) Scroll down until you find the [Public Folders] section and click the little triangle icon to show its contents. Do the same for the [All Public Folders] subcategory.

Step 03) Right-click the public folder you would like to use and then select the [Add to Favorites…] option.

Step 04) The screen below will appear; simply click [Add].

Step 05) After the calendar has been added, click the [Calendar] button in the bottom-left corner.

Step 06) Look for the [Other Calendars] section and click the little triangle icon.

Step 07) Mark the checkbox when you would like to display a particular calendar.

You can repeat these steps for each public calendar you would like to add to Outlook.
