We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, built right into our Winfield USD 465 app and website, offers secure and safe two-way messaging. This addition allows USD 465 to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.
Why Rooms?
- One place for every message. No more juggling multiple communication apps, flipping between inboxes, or remembering different logins.
- Text notifications. You’ll get notified automatically of new messages even if you haven’t downloaded our district app.
- Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us to ensure safety of all communications, at all times.
What to Expect:
- Rooms will become our primary method for all communication between staff, coaches, families, and teachers.
- More details about the Rooms launch date will be provided soon.
We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you.
