Tired of manually tracking the MPS calendar? Never miss an early dismissal again.

We know Mesa parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:

Tuesday, 4:00 PM

"You're booking flights for a family vacation over Spring Break but can't remember if MPS spring break is in March or April this year. You spend 15 minutes searching through old school emails trying to find the dates."

Thursday, 8:00 PM

"You just realized tomorrow is parent-teacher conferences and need to request time off work. You're frantically searching the MPS website to find out if it's an early release day and what time you need to be there."

Monday, 7:30 AM

"It's Monday morning and your child asks if this Friday is a professional learning day with no school. You check ParentVUE for grades but the calendar function is buried deep in the menu. You wish you had all the dates in one easy place."

The reality: Checking PDFs and the MPS website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
