Tired of manually tracking the PGCPS calendar? Never miss an early dismissal again.
We know Bowie parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
"You wake up to a winter weather advisory. Is it a Code Orange or Code Green? You have to check the PGCPS website and local news to figure out if it's a delay or a full closure."
"You hear about a school board meeting to discuss the budget but can't find the date. You have to navigate the PGCPS website to find the official schedule."
"You're trying to check your child's grades in ParentVUE, but you also need to know if this Friday is an early dismissal day for the end of the quarter."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the PGCPS website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
