Announcing Rooms for our district! Dear families, We are always working to improve and simplify communication between you and the Afton Central School District. Keeping up with your child's coursework and their teachers directly impacts their wellbeing 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. To address this issue, 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 • Breakfast and lunch menus • Push notifications for important and urgent announcements With Rooms, you '11 have access to even more exciting features like:• Two-way messaging with teachers, staff, and coaches • Classroom announcements, reminders about coursework, and materials This means that you don't need another app or tool to keep up with your child's teachers and coursework. You '11 be able to find the vast majority of school and district information in one place: within our Afton CSD 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! Soon you'll receive an invitation to Rooms by email or text. 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 Afton CSD app. Once you're there, you '11 see a toggle at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Just touch Rooms to get started. We hope this offers you a richer, simpler-and ultimately-easier communication experience. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions. Best, Annette Hammond Superintendent of Schools
