A RSS feed is a file that contains frequently updated
information, in this case news related to important dates in
your child’s classroom (test dates and upcoming assignment
due dates). RSS is specially formatted in a way that allows it
to be subscribed to using a variety of programs called feed
readers or aggregators.
