Sarasota County Schools Release App for Parents

Business

In conjunction with the start of the 2017-18 school year, Sarasota County Schools has introduced a new mobile app to help keep parents and community members informed about district news, events and other information. The app is designed for smartphones and tablets. Created by the district and education technology firm Blackboard, the free app is available for download at the Apple App Store and Google Play for Android devices. On the app, parents can choose specific schools to follow, access district calendars and lunch menus, keep up with their favorite school sports teams and see news and social media posts from the district, all in one place. Users can also access the district’s Student and Parent Portal to track grades and attendance. The app took about three months to create and underwent a soft launch among district staff members at the end of the 2016-17 school year. Each school in the district will help distribute information about the new app to its parent population as students return to school.
