Google Calendar
The Morning Creek calendar is a public Google Calendar and can be added to your own Google account and your iGoogle homepage. Google Calendar is a great tool for busy families. With your own Google Calendar account, you can create your own calendars and keep your events private while seeing the public MCES events on the same page.- If you don't have a Google account, you can sign up for free at calendar.google.com by clicking Create an Account.
- If you already have a Google (Gmail, iGoogle, or any other Google service that requires login) account, you can easily sign up for Google Calendar. Go to calendar.google.com and log in with your Google username and password.

iCal Users
You can merge the MCES Google calendar with my iCal calendar! Directions can be found in this YouTube video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwdPvBwhRyw
If you find that iCal then wants to open two calendars, you'll need to go into Calendar --> Preferences, click on 'Google' and then click on 'Delegation'. Check the 'MCES Calendar' box, and voila! Everything on one calendar! And it gets updated automatically when change are made to the school calendar!
iGoogle Homepage
If you'd like to use Google as your homepage, you can customize it with a feature called iGoogle, and see calendar events on your homepage. Look below for instructions.- Go to google.com and sign in (or Create an account now if you didn't already create an account as described above.)
