Big day today, as we are launching our Menno Rooms App! This is a free service through our School App that will allow parents/guardians to communicate with their students teachers and stay up to date on what is happening around the building.
We're very excited to be able to offer this service, but we need a little help from you to get going. Later this afternoon (around 5pm), you will receive a message from EDURooms at the email address you provided the school with. If it does not come to your main inbox, please check your spam folder. Open the email and click on "Create a Password." Once you have done that and signed in, bam! You will have access to all of your student(s) classes and teachers.
If you do not have an email listed with the school, and would like access to your student(s), please contact the office with that address and we will get you added.
We ask that all parents/guardians complete this process by Thursday because starting Friday, our teachers will no longer communicate via any other formats.
If you don't have the Menno School App already, go to your Android or Apple store and search "Menno School District." If you already have the app, you may need to preform an update. Once you have signed up, you will be able to access everything through the app, and can set up notifications to let you know any time a teacher posts an update or sends you a message.
We know it may not all be perfect right away, but we are attempting to streamline communication between the school and community, and want to make it easy for parents to get in contact with their students teachers when needed. Thanks for all your help in getting Rooms up and rolling, and look for that sign-up email later this afternoon!
