Dear families,
Keeping up with your child's coursework and teachers directly impacts their well-being in the classroom and at home. School communication plays a big part in all of this. This year, we're adding a new feature called Rooms to our district app. Rooms enables you to have two-way parent-teacher conversations and keep up with classroom announcements.
Our district app currently offers:
Live feed updates
District and school news
Upcoming events
Push notifications for important and urgent announcements
With Rooms, you'll have access to even more exciting features like:
Two-way messaging with teachers, staff, and coaches
Classroom announcements, reminders about coursework, and materials
Behavior tracking for celebrating good behavior and academic achievement
Automatic translation
So, what does all of this mean for you? This means that you don't need another app or tool to keep up with your child's teachers and coursework. You'll be able to find the vast majority of school and district information in one place: within our Fort Ann app. If you don't already have it, the district app is free - search Fort Ann CSD in the App Store or Play Store!
You will receive an invite to Rooms by email or text after school on Thursday, September 5. Once you receive the invite, you'll follow the link on your browser to create a login.
After you've created your login, you can access Rooms through the Fort Ann app. Once you're there, you'll see a toggle at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen—just touch Rooms to get started. If you have multiple children attending our district, you'll see them all listed in the menu section of Rooms.
We hope this offers you a richer, simpler, and ultimately easier communication experience. You can read more about Rooms on our district’s FAQ page here. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
