NEW WEBSITE, APP OFFER EASY NAVIGATION FOR PARENTS
Parents will notice that the West Baton Rouge school system, and all schools, have a new website and app when their kids begin the school year on Aug. 10. A major feature of the new website is an integrated app that provides a one-stop-shop for parents to get the latest information about their student’s school.
For example, the app will provide parents with alerts, notifications, social media posts, documents, staff, and other school information. It will send notices to parents about report cards, field trips, special events or activities at the school, PTO meetings, and much more. Information including school lunch menus and homework will be at their fingertips. Social media posts by the schools, no matter if they are on facebook, Instagram, Twitter or other social media apps, will also be integrated for them on the app.
“The new website and app should make things easier for parents,” said Superintendent Chandler Smith. “It is easy to use and navigate, and is considered a state-of-the-art communications tool for schools.” More information about the app will be provided to parents when the new school year begins.
