Submitted by The San Juan Island School District

The latest news and information from schools in the San Juan Island School District are now available on smartphones and mobile devices with a new mobile app that launched Jan. 18. San Juan Island School District is partnering with Blackboard to expand its communications outreach with a mobile app that is now available in the online iTunes and Google Play app stores for free.

The mobile app will offer a constantly updated feed of district news and events with photos and links to the district’s website. The app can also be customized by the user by selecting the schools they are most interested in for news and updates. Users can also choose to receive push notifications to get breaking news and updates about school closures, calendar changes and more.

“We know that our students are more successful in schools when parents are engaged in their learning and school activities,” said Dr. Danna Diaz, Superintendent of San Juan Island School District. “With our new mobile app, parents and community members can stay connected with our local schools and with the activities our students are engaged in every day.”
