While your Google Apps school account automatically creates a primary calendar for you, it can be useful to have several additional calendars to help organize the different parts of your life. The primary calendar that comes with your Google Apps account will be associated with the name and email address of your account, however you can create as many secondary calendars as you like.  For example, you might want to have a "school/work" calendar that has all the events and appointments related to school (staff meetings, school events, 1:1 conferences, etc.). In addition, you may want to have a separate "personal" calendar for keeping track of events and appointments outside of work (a dentist appointment, dinner with a friend, exercise class, etc.).

These different calendars will not only allow you to see different information on your calendar (you can choose a color for "school" and a different color for "personal"), you can also set different privacy settings for the calendars allowing everyone at your school to see your 'school/work' calendar, while not allowing anyone to have access to your personal calendar.

Here we will review how to create a personal calendar with events and information that only you can see, ensuring that your information stays private from others at your school.
