Announcing Rooms for our district!
Dear DCS families,
We are always working to improve and simplify communication between you and all of us here at Dundee Schools. Keeping up with your child’s coursework and keeping in touch with their teachers makes an impact on their wellbeing both in the classroom and at home. We want to help by making school communication as simple as possible.
This year, we’re adding a new feature called Rooms to our district app (Android and iOS). Rooms enables you to have two-way parent-teacher conversations and keep up with classroom announcements.
Our district app currently offers:
● Livefeed 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 features:
● Two-way messaging with teachers, staff, and coaches
● Classroom announcements, reminders about coursework, and materials
● Behavior tracking for celebrating good behavior and academic achievement
● Automatic translation
What this means for you:
• You’ll have one app to keep track of school news and communications.
• You’ll be able to find the majority of school and district information in one place: within our DCS app. If you don’t already have it, the district app is free and you can find it in the Play Store and App Store!
After spring break you'll receive an invite 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 DCS app. Once you’re there, you’ll see a toggle at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Just touch Rooms to get started. If you have multiple children attending our district, you’ll see them both listed in the menu section of Rooms.
We hope this offers you a richer, simpler way to keep in touch with us. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
Best,
Scott Leach
