Parents can keep up with their children’s schools in a new, more convenient way this school year, thanks to a new mobile app launched by Sarasota County Schools. Using the app, parents can see their student’s grades, attendance and more!

The app is targeted toward parents and allows them to choose specific schools to follow, access district calendars and lunch menus, keep up with school sports teams and see news and social media posts from the district, according to a press release. Users can also access the district’s Student and Parent Portal to track grades and attendance.

Director of Information Technology for SCS Joe Binswanger called the app a “one-stop shop for parents.”

“The app gives us the ability to aggregate the various pieces of information that a parent would need or want to successfully be able to support their student in their educational career,” Binswanger said in a the release.

The app is free and available now, and can be downloaded for both Apple and Android devices.  Search "Sarasota County Schools" on the App Store and Google Play.
