New Website, App, Alerts, and Communication Tool
Make sure you follow us on Facebook to learn more about the launch of these new platforms!
Website & App
This summer, our team has been working on a brand-new district website and mobile app, powered by Thrillshare. The new platform is designed to make it easier to find what you need, like school calendars, lunch menus, news, and more...all just a click away. Even better, the app mirrors the website and sends real-time notifications, so you’ll always be in the know.
Alerts
We’re also excited to introduce Thrillshare Alerts, which will now replace School Messenger. With this system, families will receive instant updates via text, email, phone, and app notifications. From school closings to emergency updates and event reminders, you’ll get the info that matters most, right when you need it.
Rooms
We’re also excited to launch a new communication tool this year for all K–12 students called Rooms, and it’s built right into the Bronson Community Schools app!
Rooms makes it easy and secure for teachers and families to message one another. Whether it’s a quick reminder about a field trip or a note about classroom learning, this platform helps keep everyone in the loop. Plus, messages are automatically translated when needed, making communication more inclusive for all families.
To ensure you receive important messages and alerts, please double-check that your contact information is current when completing fall enrollment paperwork and keep the office updated of any changes as soon as you're able. Having the correct phone number and email on file helps us stay connected when it matters most.
