Fill in Title, and Starts with the first date. Leave Ends empty.

Pick the last date in Repeat every week until (optional). The form explains that a repeating event is not announced and does not ask for replies.

Choose a room, or leave it blank for the whole center, and tap Add to the calendar.

Each week now shows as its own date marked Weekly. To change one, tap Edit on it and choose Only this date or This date and the ones after.

Questions
- Can I announce a weekly event or ask families to reply?
- Not on the whole series. Add the event as a weekly one, then edit one date to announce it or ask for replies on that date.
- Can a closure repeat?
- No. Closures and early closes go in one date at a time, because each one is announced to families.
- How far ahead can it repeat?
- Up to a year from the first date. Add another series after that if you need it.
