Official BCPS 2026-27 Calendar

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

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

Monday, 6:30 AM

"A tropical storm shifted overnight. Is today a hurricane make-up day or a regular planning day? You have to check the BCPS website, Twitter, and a news site before you can plan your workday."

Friday, 12:00 PM

"You get a notification from BCPS Connect that next Tuesday is now a full day, not early release. You have to scramble to cancel the afternoon appointment you had scheduled for your child."

Wednesday, 9:00 PM

"You're trying to plan a family vacation, but you have to cross-reference the school calendar with the list of potential hurricane make-up days to make sure you don't book during a rescheduled school day."

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