A collaboration between CSD Communications and Technology, the app brings an "all-in-one" solution to district families, staff and students and features "push" notifications for weather- and emergency-related closings and delays. As with the district’s website, calendars will receive tremendous traffic, and in this app, users can subscribe to specific schools’ calendars, while also accessing the district and athletic calendars.

  4. Model with mathematics
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically
