Elgin Public Schools announced the release of a new, EPS-wide mobile communications application from School Connect, a leading developer of mobile applications for K-12 school systems and institutions.  Brought to the Elgin School District by Jostens, the free mobile app is available for Apple and Android mobile devices and keeps the entire school community connected to the district’s information they need in one convenient location on users’ mobile devices.

Understanding the busy schedules of parents, students, and patrons, the Elgin School District’s official mobile app from School Connect enables smartphone and tablet users to keep track of important school information and receive notices from the district, faculty, and staff, all in real-time via push and email messaging. The mobile app enhances student and community engagement by providing users with access to information like school activities, grade books, notes from teachers, athletic schedules and scores, lunch menus, and school calendars when and where they choose to view.
