School District 72 has launched a new parent portal and mobile app to further improve how it communicates with families.

The new portal pulls news, events and emergency notifications posted on school and district websites. From this site, parents and guardians will also be able to see emergency contact information on file at the school, their child's absences, report cards and more. Teachers will also have the option to share assignments and other class messages.

The parent portal can also be accessed through a new mobile app on IOS and Android devices.

When a parent or guardian has the app installed on their cell phone and notifications enabled, they will receive up-to-date information for everything from events to bus delays right on their cell phone.
