I am making a school intranet site. I would like to have a place where the office can store many of its files/documents for the staff to have access to. Now, if we want a form we have to go to the office and the office is covered with forms. It would nice at a central location. Are there any recommendations on a module to use for this purpose?
What would be the best calendar for the staff to keep adding information to-- a central calendar?

uploads and calendar
I'm a brand newbie to drupal, having just put together my first drupal web site. So, my answers will be on the simple side. Sometimes that's good :)
For file management, you could start just with the uploads module. It ships with the drupal core, but is disabled by default. You just have to enable it, that's all. Once enabled, you can upload a file along with any content. So you could create a content type "Document Downloads" with uploads enabled. Be sure to give regular users at least "view" access to the uploads module, otherwise, they won't even see the links to the files.
For the calendar, be sure to check the "calendar" module. http://drupal.org/project/calendar. Chances are it will be perfect for you. It appears to be the main calendar module for drupal, and it's probably the best supported and updated.
