AISD gets a mobile app

Austin ISD families, students and staff will be thrilled to learn that the Austin ISD mobile app has finally arrived. The app, which is available in your mobile device’s app store, offers district news, individual campus notifications, resources for parents and students and district calendars. The app also features a tool called “Covid-19 Screen and Go,” and links to the Parent Cloud, Parent Self Serve, WheresTheBus, School Café and School Directory. Brenda Richmond, the district’s director of management information systems, who helped lead the development of the app, said she hopes the mobile app will “make the school year a little easier to navigate.” She added, “We have even more robust customization options coming down the pipeline that will include quick access to grades, assignments and ability for families to contact teachers. In January, the app will contain a brand new mobile-friendly student registration feature.”
