Plan next year’s events in hours, not months
Annual Planning software built for K-12 Independent schools. Set key dates, rollover last year’s events, receive new submissions, finalize the plan, then sync it to your SIS.
The solution your calendar admins have been waiting for
Planning next year’s events is tedious for most K-12 Independent schools. You set key dates, export recurring events from your SIS into a spreadsheet, and collect submissions from staff.
Then you clean up the formatting, import it somewhere to see it on a calendar, and hunt for space conflicts and overloaded days.
After the calendar committee moves things around and finalizes it, you export it all again and import it back into your SIS. And that’s just the planning, before you manage a single event.
Our new Annual Planning solution handles every step in one place, from setting key dates to resolving conflicts. When you’re done, sync directly to your SIS or manage your events in SchoolCal.

“Pay what you can” pricing
Our mission has always been to give K-12 Independent schools more value than they pay for, so we’re glad to be able to offer “pay what you can” pricing for Annual Planning. Suggested pricing is based on school size, at $2/student. However, we want every school to have access to it, regardless of budget. If you can pay the full price, great! If you can only pay $100/year, that’s fine too! Don’t let price be an obstacle to streamlining your event planning process.
If you want to manage events after you plan them, we hope you’ll consider purchasing our full Event Manager product.
