Communication Update
Classroom-Home Feature Launching Soon in the Caroline App
Say hello to parent-teacher chat and classroom announcements in the Caroline app with a new app feature called Rooms! Rooms is a parent-teacher chat feature on the Caroline mobile app. Unlike the general information on the app, Rooms is a password-protected way for you to safely and securely communicate with your child’s teachers.
On Jan. 31, parents and guardians received instructions via email to create their Rooms login within the district app. The email will came from Apptegy, so please check your spam, just in case.
If you do not already have the district app on your phone, please download it today so you’ll be ready to login to Rooms next week. Search Caroline Schools, MD, in the App Store (iPhone) or on Google Play (Android).
