Tired of manually tracking the LAUSD calendar? Never miss an early dismissal again.
We know Los Angeles parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
"Stuck in Sepulveda Pass traffic when the ParentSquare alert hits: Air quality closure for all Valley schools. Your Encino Elementary kid is cheering, but you have a 9am meeting in Century City."
"It's minimum day at Fairfax High but you forgot. Now you're racing from your Santa Monica office on the 10, and your teen's been waiting for 45 minutes."
"Checking tomorrow's schedule: Is it a pupil-free day? The LAUSD website is down, the printed calendar is somewhere in that pile, and you need to request work-from-home by midnight."
"December 22nd - first day of LAUSD's 3-week winter break. But you forgot and just pulled up to John Muir Middle School with your kid. The empty parking lot tells the whole story."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the LAUSD website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
