We have parentvue, canvas, teachers have two email addresses but you never know if you are supposed to use org or net, we get a smite newsletter, there’s a listserv, we get texts and I think some administrators and guidance use twitter. We don’t yet have carrier pigeon or the very expensive bus tracking app I thought they said we were getting.
Surely there is a way to streamline all of this.
Lucky. Our principal is forcing it down our throats. We HAVE to send at LEAST one weekly message. I had a parent angrily write back (even though she signed up for it but regardless). I don't need this extra BS on my plate in order to maintain some MCPS quota so they can justify buying yet something else. If a teacher WANTS to use it, they should. Like the above poster said, no one should be forced to do so.
Once a week is crazy. Is this for elementary school?

It works great for necessary messages, but it shouldnt be forced upon teachers to use it on a regular basis for things that don't actually require it.

It could be good potentially but we need to streamline the methods of communication. Keep Remind and let people get used to it for several years. Cut one of the emails and eliminate the contact options through Synergy and Canvas. One email and Remind.

Same. It’s also great that it doesn’t require me to download anything. And that it is separate from Synergy, which is terrible.

Our HS uses it this way too. It's great.

I have no idea what it is - there are way too many communications "tools" MCPS has.

It was never intended to be a parent to parent communication app. It is a school to parent - parent to school app.
MCPS has its issues but paying for an app for you to contact other parents isn't one of them.
But how can I set up Larla's birthday party?
