Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.
We know Walnut Creek parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
Tuesday, 7:45 AM
"You're at Heather Farm Park for your daughter's morning soccer practice when another parent mentions early dismissal today. You frantically pull up the WCSD website on your phone, but the PDF calendar won't load. You have back-to-back meetings until 2 PM."
Sunday Evening, 9:30 PM
"You're planning your Northgate neighborhood carpool schedule for the week when you realize you're looking at Northgate High School's calendar instead of WCSD's K-8 calendar. You spend 30 minutes cross-referencing multiple calendars to find the right dates."
Wednesday, 5:00 PM
"Your family was planning to attend First Wednesday Street Fest downtown, but you just discovered tomorrow is an unexpected teacher development day with no students. The playdate you organized with three Parkmead Elementary families needs to be rescheduled last minute."
Saturday Morning, 10:00 AM
"You're at Larkey Park for a playdate when another parent asks about next week's no-school day. You can't remember if it's Monday or Friday, and you've already promised your kids a trip to the Lesher Center for the Arts. You spend your whole playdate worried about the schedule conflict."
Thursday, 8:00 PM
"You just booked a family vacation for Walnut Festival weekend in September, only to discover you scheduled it during the first week of school. The calendar PDF you downloaded in June is now outdated after district calendar changes, and you're facing cancellation fees."
Friday, 2:00 PM
"You planned a Mount Diablo State Park hike with your Indian Valley Elementary parent group for this afternoon. You just got a call from the school—it's early release day at 1:30 PM, and your child has been waiting in the office. You're 25 minutes away in traffic."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the WCSD website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...

"As a parent at Walnut Heights Elementary on Walnut Boulevard, I was constantly scrambling to check the district website for important dates. This Google Calendar sync has been a lifesaver! Now all our school events automatically appear on my phone, and I never miss early dismissals when we're downtown at Broadway Plaza or the Sunday farmers' market."— Jennifer M., Walnut Heights Elementary parent
★★★★★
"With two kids at Parkmead Elementary on Magnolia Way and our weekends filled with activities at Heather Farm Park's skate park and equestrian center, keeping track of school dates was chaos. This calendar solution means I can plan AYSO soccer practices and family time at Shell Ridge Open Space without worrying about conflicts. Worth every penny!"— David L., Parkmead Elementary parent
★★★★★
"Living in the Northgate neighborhood off Ygnacio Valley Road with kids at Indian Valley Elementary on Marshall Drive, I used to confuse the district calendar with Northgate High School dates all the time. Having WCSD's K-8 calendar synced to my phone keeps everything clear when planning trips to Civic Park or Lime Ridge Open Space. No more double-checking the website!"— Maria S., Indian Valley Elementary parent
★★★★★
"Three kids at Buena Vista Elementary on San Juan Avenue means triple the calendar chaos! Between Rancho San Miguel neighborhood activities and weekly trips to the Ruth Bancroft Garden, this auto-updating calendar has eliminated so much stress. I can see all the holidays, breaks, and early release days at a glance. It's integrated perfectly with our family calendar."— Rachel T., Buena Vista Elementary parent
★★★★★
"My daughter attends Tice Creek School on Newell Avenue, and between planning our First Wednesday Street Fest visits downtown, trips to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum, and keeping track of her K-8 schedule, I was always missing something. This calendar syncs automatically and even sends me reminders. Best money I've spent on school supplies!"— Carlos R., Tice Creek School parent
★★★★★
"Planning our Mount Diablo hiking trips, visits to the Iron Horse Regional Trail, and family weekends used to be a nightmare with my son's Walnut Creek Intermediate schedule. Between the Saturday farmers' market and performances at the Lesher Center, this Google Calendar integration means I can plan months in advance and never worry about booking trips during school days. Game changer!"— Emily K., Walnut Creek Intermediate parent
