Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.
We know DeKalb County parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
Wednesday, 7:45 AM
"You're coordinating carpools with other DeKalb County families, but everyone has different information about upcoming teacher workdays. You need the official DCSD calendar but can't find the most current version on their website."
Monday, 6:30 AM
"It's Monday morning in Stonecrest and you get an automated DCSD call about an unexpected school closure. You're already dressed for work and need to quickly arrange childcare, but you're not sure if it's a full day closure or just a delay."
Thursday, 8:00 PM
"You're planning a spring vacation from your Chamblee home, but you need to know the exact dates of DCSD's Spring Break. The district website has multiple calendar versions, and you want to make sure you book the right dates."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the DCSD website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...

DeKalb County School District uses Campus Parent (powered by Infinite Campus) as their primary parent portal for grades, attendance, and school information.
