Calendly: Create a New Event with a Sign Up Form

After you have created an account, you will need to create a sign up sheet. For the parent-teacher conferences, each meeting should be scheduled for 10 minutes with each meeting in intervals of 15 minutes so that you have 5 minutes to prepare for the next meeting. The screenshots with red text are items that have been predetermined by the O'Dowd administration.
