What happens in Mavo
One read-only school calendar that rolls forward each year.
Mavo checks the link, tells you how many events it found, then asks for a calendar name and color. When District of Columbia Public Schools publishes another school year, it appears in the same linked calendar.
The source controls the schedule, so synced dates stay read-only. You can still add the family details Mavo knows about—who’s handling it, attendance, place, notes, and a clearer title.
Linked calendars are included with Mavo Everyday and higher.
