As a District, it is our desire to communicate important and pertinent information that is timely and relevant to what is taking place in our schools.
Our District's intent was to build a mobile app that focuses on what really matters: the user experience. It is our hope that parents and community will use the app for meaningful information.
We are very excited to rollout our District's new mobile platform through Apptegy, which will allow us to manage all of our communications from a single place.
