PARENT/GUARDIANS-WELCOME TO ROOMS!
Classroom/Club/Team to Parent/Guardian/Student Communication
Rooms is a two-way communication tool that teachers, club sponsors, and athletic coaches will be using to connect our classrooms, clubs and teams to families. Rooms is similar to other platforms that you may be familiar with for two-way communications (such as Remind, Class Dojo, Band App, Bloomz, etc.). Instead of all of those apps, parents/guardians are asked to download each year, all teachers, coaches, club sponsors in our District will be using Rooms, and this two-way communications tool is built right into our District’s mobile app!
PARENT/GUARDIAN ACTION NEEDED: COMPLETE SETUP FOR YOUR ACCOUNT IN ROOMS
The initial setup to “complete your account” for Rooms is all that’s needed for parents/guardians to connect to Rooms. If you completed this last year, you’re all set! If not, as your child’s teacher/coach/school shares messages in Rooms, you will receive a notification through the contact information provided during registration. Please ensure that your phone number and email are up to date in PowerSchool. Your school’s Student Information Clerk can assist with any updates that may be needed.
Once you set up your account in Rooms, connection to your student’s assigned teachers will be part of a nightly sync with our student information system (PowerSchool). Then, your account and two-way communication will transition as your student moves to new teachers each semester, grade level, and even as they move to a new school in Aiken County or new level (elementary to middle; middle to high). This enhanced school-to-home communications tool will keep communication open, automatic, and translated to your preferred language (if needed) from now through your students’ 12th grade year.
PARENT/GUARDIAN ACTION NEEDED: DOWNLOAD ACPSD’S NEW MOBILE APP
If you’ve not already done so, please also download Aiken County Public Schools’ mobile app available on the App and Google Play Store (Aiken County Public Schools SC). Through this one app, you’ll be able to view District and school news and information as well as Rooms and Messages to communicate directly with your students’ teachers. You may also focus your smartphone camera on the QR Code below for the direct link to download our District’s mobile app.
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete setup for your Account in Rooms and download Aiken County Public Schools’ mobile app! I look forward to keeping the lines of communication open so that we can work together to support your student in achieving his/her personal best!
