Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? 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."
