APP Family Reminder

Making the most of your school connection

The SBISD mobile app makes it easier for families to stay informed about everything happening at their child’s school. With the app, you can receive important updates, check school news, view events, and communicate with teachers all in one place.

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of the SBISD app.


Turn On Notifications

After downloading the app, be sure to enable notifications on your device. Turning on notifications helps ensure you never miss important information from your child’s school.


Follow Your Child’s School

Within the app, you can follow your child’s campus to receive updates specific to that school.

This allows you to:

  • see campus news

  • receive school announcements

  • stay informed about upcoming events

Families with children at multiple campuses can follow more than one school. It's as simple as toggling between schools in the menu.


Check News and Announcements

The app includes a news feed where schools and the district share updates. You can use this section to stay informed about:

  • student achievements

  • important school information

  • district announcements

Checking the news feed regularly helps you stay connected to your school community.


Use the calendar to keep track of:

  • school holidays

  • campus events

  • testing dates

  • meetings and activities

This makes it easier to plan ahead for your child’s school schedule.


Message Teachers through ROOMS

The app includes ROOMS, a secure messaging tool that allows families to communicate directly with teachers. Teachers may send messages about:

  • classroom reminders

  • general updates

  • upcoming classroom activities

You can respond to messages directly through the app. Check with your teacher if they are using Rooms as part of their family-to-school communications this year.


Keep Your Contact Information Updated

The app connects to your child’s school information through Skyward. To ensure you receive messages and alerts, make sure your phone number and email address in Skyward are correct. It's also important to enter a cell number and make sure it's marked CELL.

If your contact information changes, update it or contact your school's front office for assistance.


Check the App Regularly

The SBISD app brings together school communication in one place. By checking the app regularly, families can stay up-to-date with important announcements, events, and classroom updates.
