District 51 Launches New Mobile App to Enhance Family and Community Engagement

In a move to streamline communication and improve access to important school-related information, District 51 has launched a new mobile app. The app, now available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, is designed for parents, students, and the broader community to stay connected with the district’s updates and resources.

Key Features of the New Mobile App

District 51’s mobile app is a one-stop hub for everything parents and community members need to know about the district. The app pulls together information from multiple district websites into a single platform.

Callie Berkson, Public Information Officer for D51, emphasized the app’s role in increasing accessibility for families: “One thing D51 prioritizes is ensuring our families have access to adequate information. The mobile app provides us with that resource. It’s an all-in-one tool for our families to get all that information on the go.”

Among the key features, users can access:

  • School schedules
  • Event calendars
  • Lunch menus
  • ParentVUE (for tracking student progress)
  • Important district announcements

This integration of essential services ensures that families can easily stay informed no matter where they are.

Benefits for Parents with Children in Multiple Schools

For parents with children at different schools or grade levels, the app offers a particularly useful feature: the ability to combine multiple students’ information in one interface. This means less time spent navigating different websites or platforms to access important updates and more time focusing on the day-to-day needs of their children.

It’s a small change that could make a big difference for busy families trying to juggle multiple schedules and responsibilities. Now, all relevant information for each child is accessible in one place, streamlining the process and cutting down on the stress of managing school-related tasks.

Accessibility for the Entire Community

One of the most appealing aspects of the new app is that it’s not limited to just parents and students. Anyone from the community—including residents, educators, and local businesses—can download the app and stay connected with the district’s activities. This broad access makes it easier for the community to remain informed about events, initiatives, and important school news, even if they don’t have a student enrolled in the district.

Whether it’s finding out about district-wide events, school closures, or emergency notifications, the app ensures that everyone in the community can stay up-to-date with real-time information.
