Nogales Unified School District has partnered with Apptegy to provide a seamless communication experience for parents, community members, and staff members through a brand-new district website as well as an easy-to-navigate district app.

The Nogales USD app will provide a feed of regular district and school-level updates, access to a calendar of events, a staff directory, as well as a two-way parent/student/coach/teacher communication tool called Rooms! This tool moves all two-way parent-teacher conversations into one place, K-12 and will take the place of any other communication tool previously used at NUSD#1. It also enables teachers to share classroom announcements and updates in a way that’s much simpler for everyone to keep up with.

Here are just a few Rooms features we think you’re going to love:

• Two-way messaging with parents, guardians, students, and staff in a monitored, secure space

• Teachers can share classroom announcements, activities, and send reminders about

  coursework to families 

• Teachers can upload and store their classroom materials 

• Teachers can record and track student behavior 

• Automatic translation

So what does all of this mean for you? This means that you will no longer need multiple tools to keep up with your students’ teachers. District updates, classroom updates, and parent-teacher communication will all exist within one tool. You will continue to receive phone calls, text messages, emails, and/or voice calls from the district and your students’ principals to ensure that no matter what type of communication you prefer, your needs are met.

We look forward to the years ahead of simple, streamlined communication.
