Woodland schools launch new informational app

Woodland — Woodland Public Schools has a new smartphone app to help parents, students and community members stay up-to-date on district information. The app provides dining menus, event calendars, real-time updates on sports scores, school documents and a live feed populated by information from school staff, teachers and students. Teachers are working on projects involving the app, including posting the student newspaper to the feed and student work posted in galleries. The free app, which is available for Google Android and Apple iOS smartphones, also sends emergency notifications directly to app users. Links are also available on each district’s homepage, www.woodlandschools.org
