Announcing Rooms for Rising Middle and High School Families!
We are always working to improve and simplify communication between you and Monroe County Schools. Keeping up with your child’s coursework and their teachers directly impacts their well being both in the classroom and at home. School communication plays a big part in all of this, but it’s often not set up to be as simple and easy to access as it could be.
That’s what we’re working to solve. Next year, we’re adding a new feature called Rooms to our district app for families with middle and high school students. 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
Breakfast and lunch menus
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
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 Monroe County Schools app. If you don’t already have it, the district app is free and you can search for it in the Play Store and App Store!
Once you’ve downloaded the app, use your cell phone number to log in for the first time. Be sure to use the number that you have listed in Infinite Campus. You can visit the Parent Portal to verify/update your number. Again, this is only for families with students at the middle and high schools.
Our elementary school families will continue to use Class Dojo as the primary method for classroom communication.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
