ASSIGNING HOMEWORK VIA
MS OUTLOOK OR ENTOURAGE

Using your calendar in Entourage, you can create a new event with a reminder and invite attendees.  This event could be a homework assignment and the attendees could be the students.  When the students received the invitation (via email) all they have to do is accept it and Entourage adds the event to their calendar (including a automatic reminder).

How to create and send an event in Entourage:

1. Click on the File Menu, choose New, choose Calendar Event
2. Under Subject: enter the name of the assignment
3. Under Start: enter the date and time the assignment is due
4. Make sure the box is CHECKED next to Reminder
5. Choose an appropriate amount of time before the assignment is due for the reminder
6. In the text box, give a description of the assignment
7. In the upper left, click on Invite button and enter in the email alias for the class you are assigning the homework to....either grade6students@wornickjds.org, grade7students@wornickjds.org, or grade8students@wornickjds.org.
8. Click on Send Now
