I think in order to truly assess the necessity of a printed calendar, we'd need to go one more year without one. The first year of a big change will always be difficult. The second year, people will realize they need to check in on the website so they know what is going on each month/week and then write it down or sync it to their phone. Give it one more year and then utilize the robo-calls to remind parents to check the website and also to alert parents to days off and half days off. See how that goes before we take a giant step back and start printing calendars again.
