The knowledge was already there. It just wasn’t visible to everyone who needed it.

Growing up, my mom would meet with our school each year to talk through which dates didn’t work.
Later I learned other families were doing the same in communities of their own.
The family checking school calendars against Yom Kippur.
The parent making sure events don’t fall on Eid al-Fitr.
The church member pointing out a conflict with Ash Wednesday.
The PTA volunteer reminding others about Lunar New Year.
The problem became personal.
My son missed class picture day because it was scheduled on an observance, twice.
I began hearing similar stories about conflicting dates for tests and field trips from other families as well.
CommonCal doesn’t create awareness.
It shares awareness.
Shared planning starts with visibility.
CommonCal was created to help schools understand important context before decisions are finalized.
