Real-Time Updates
Parents can now receive live feed updates with the latest district and school news, including urgent announcements. The app also provides easy access to upcoming school and district events.

Push Notifications
Critical updates and urgent communications will be sent directly to users' devices, ensuring timely delivery of important information.

'Rooms' Feature
A key addition to the app is the "Rooms" feature, which offers:

  • Two-way messaging between parents and teachers, staff, and coaches
  • Classroom announcements about coursework, materials, and important updates
  • Automatic translation of messages into the user's preferred language

If you have any questions about "Rooms" or need assistance, each campus homepage has a Rooms Support link for families!

Family Access 
Parents will receive invitations to access Rooms via email or text. After creating a login, users can access Rooms from the bottom right corner of the app screen. Families with multiple children in the district will be able to view information for all their students within the Rooms feature.

Additional Information
For more details about Rooms, parents can visit the FAQ page here. The district encourages families with questions or those needing assistance to contact their student's campus directly.
