Tired of manually tracking the FCPS calendar? Never miss an early dismissal again.
We know Fairfax parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:
Sunday, 8:00 PM
"You're trying to plan your week and realize you don't know if Monday is a holiday. You have to search the FCPS website to find the calendar and then try to decipher the color-coding."
Wednesday, 10:00 AM
"You get an email about an early release day, but you're in the middle of a meeting. By the time you remember to check, you've forgotten the date and have to scramble to find the information again."
Friday, 4:00 PM
"You're trying to book a family vacation and need to know the spring break dates. You can't find the calendar on the FCPS website and have to ask in a parent Facebook group."
The reality: Checking PDFs and the FCPS website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...
