Tired of manually tracking the MCPS calendar? Never miss an early dismissal again.
We know Rockville parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
Monday, 6:45 AM
"You wake up to a Code Red alert on your phone. Is it a snow day or just a delay? You need to check multiple sources to figure out if you should plan childcare or if your kids at Walt Whitman High School have a 2-hour delay."
Wednesday, 3:00 PM
"You're stuck in I-270 traffic near Rockville and realize you forgot to check if today is an early dismissal day at Beall Elementary. Now you're scrambling to find someone to pick up your child."
Thursday, 8:30 PM
"Your child's magnet program application is due soon, but you can't remember if Winter Break starts next week or the week after. You have to navigate the MCPS website to find the calendar and confirm the dates."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the MCPS website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
