School, District and Classroom News and Communications are now all in one place!
Most families use their phones as a primary means of communication. With this in mind, Boone County Schools is launching a NEW mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening on campus from their phones. On the app, students, parents, and the school community can read the latest announcements, locate staff contact information, review upcoming events, and find important documents. Through this app we are bringing all communications into one place.
Bringing dialogue into one place
After selecting a class, students, parents, and guardians will be taken to what is called their Class Stream. A Class Stream allows you to view different announcements within a particular course as well as any required permission slips, forms, or assignments given by teachers. This is also where the teacher’s google classroom would sync assignments and announcements so parents and guardians can truly have one place to stay informed.
Two-Way Messaging
The NEW Boone County Schools, KY app, (as it is called in the app stores) takes conversations from different channels and unifies them all in one place. If a student, parent or guardian has questions about upcoming assignments, class curriculum, or anything day-to-day, they can message their teacher directly through this app. Parents will never have to wonder when their children’s homework is due, and students can ask their teacher school-related questions in a monitored, safe place. This is a safe space for teachers to communicate with students and their parents in a way that protects all involved.
Translation
In today’s world, you need to engage diverse audiences. That’s why our new app offers translation that works directly with your phone’s settings – to provide a more accurate and robust translation so everyone can stay engaged.
Download the app
When you download the NEW Boone County Schools, KY app you will also have access to the district live feed, news, events and more. You also have access to your child’s individual school and can find important information like lunch menus, news and announcements. School alerts will also come to you through this app.
The Boone County School District wants to make it easy to communicate with teachers and staff at the classroom level. The rest of our new app is designed to broadcast information such as weather-related school closings, delays and early dismissals, as well as any other school or district-wide alerts. This is where we will also share all the amazing moments that happen within our school district community throughout the school year.
The Boone County Schools, KY app is free and available to download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
