A District’s Most Prized Partners: Parents
As a parent or guardian, you want to receive clear, timely, and relevant information about your child's education and well-being. Your district values you as a partner and wants to make it easy for you to work together for your child's benefit.
Apptegy has developed a set of tools designed to bring teachers and families together, making communication seamless and connection stronger than ever.
Always be there.
We know you want to be there for your kids in every possible way—whether they've had a rough day or they're celebrating their greatest achievements. That requires that you’re right there: in the bleachers, at the bus stop, in the classroom, at field day, or at the kitchen table working through homework.
To be a successful mom, dad, or guardian requires you to be an effective communicator. We’re here to help you get closer to that by bringing communication closer to you and offering a better experience.
Because there’s no better champion.
Everyone in a district needs and wants you—the parent or guardian—to be the champion for your student, your school, and your community. When you get involved and have strong relationships with teachers and principals, everyone wins.
By bringing families closer to their schools, Apptegy helps kids win more—and keeps their families by their side, cheering them on.

Why your district needs two-way communications
We know that strong family engagement can help districts solve a variety of challenges, from reducing chronic absenteeism to improving literacy and more.

Here, we’ll show you how.
