Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.
We know New York parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
Tuesday, 7:15 AM
"Woke up to a surprise snow notification. Now you have to figure out remote learning, get the kids set up on their devices, and still try to make your 9 AM meeting in Midtown."
Thursday, 2:30 PM
"It's early dismissal for parent-teacher conferences, but only for your middle schooler. Your elementary schooler gets out at the normal time. The subway ride to get them both will be an adventure."
Monday, 8:00 AM
"You completely forgot it was Rosh Hashanah and there's no school. Now you're on the LIRR trying to arrange a last-minute playdate so you don't have to take a vacation day."
Wednesday, 10:00 PM
"Your boss asks if you can work next Monday. You have to check three different websites to confirm if it's Italian Heritage/Indigenous Peoples' Day or just a regular school day."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the NYCDOE website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
