Carl Junction Schools Communications

  • We have contracted with Finalsite to provide an integrated communications package that includes:

    Websites (district and all five buildings)

    Mass Communications (automated phone calls, texts, and emails)

    Mobile App

    We are currently using the Mass Communication piece.

    When the app goes live, parents/students/staff/community members will be able to go to Google Play or the Apple App Store to download the app for free. Here are some of the features of the mobile app:

    On-demand access to student and school information through smartphones and tablets that includes:
    • School and district news, calendars, staff directories, and more
    • Important notifications like critical alerts, school closures, and early releases
    • Easy access for parents to assignments and grades for their students
    • Lunch menus and balances, athletics schedules, social media, and more
    Parents will also have the ability to customize their experience by choosing the buildings, calendars, and events they want to view and follow.
     
    The information on the app comes directly from the website, so as information goes up on the site, it is disseminated directly to phones for more efficient delivery.
     
    We are coordinating with staff, club sponsors, and coaches on getting information as quickly as possible to post. This is a work in progress, but we are making progress.
