Event

Events can be created for users, courses, groups, schools, or districts; all events automatically feed into the "upcoming" and "calendar" portions of the site. Assignment-related events can be viewed but cannot be modified directly.

NOTE

Events exist in districts, schools, users, groups, and sections.
