School-Year Stress? There’s an App for That…

As another school year begins, one question many parents are asking themselves is, “How am I going to keep track of everything?”

Several area school districts, McKenzie, Huntingdon, West Carroll and Clarksburg, are offering a modern solution: mobile apps.

Most of us use them all day, every day for nearly every aspect of our lives, so using them to help keep track of all of the minutiae of the school year is a natural evolution.

McKenzie’s app is called “McKenzie Schools Connect” developed by SchoolinSites.

Huntingdon’s app is called “Huntingdon School District’’ developed by Edulink Systems, Inc.

West Carroll’s app is called “WCSSD Connect” developed by SchoolinSites.

Clarksburg’s app is called “South Carroll Special Schools” developed by Apptegy Play Store.

The apps are customizable to allow users to get all (and only) the news, notifications and information that applies to them: from the district office, from the individual schools in the district, from individual teachers, coaches, classes, clubs, sports and other programs and from the cafeterias.

Forms and documents can be downloaded and, in some cases, uploaded.

These apps are all available on Google Play and the App Store.
