New Communication Tool - Rooms by Apptegy (1/16/26)
2 months ago, HPS
Hello Hartford Public School Families, We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Rooms, is built right into our Hartford Public Schools app and website, offers secure and safe two-way messaging. This addition allows Hartford Public Schools 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. ● Rooms will take place of Class Dojo and Remind 101. What to Expect: ● Rooms will become our primary method for all communication between staff, coaches, families, and teachers. ● Rooms will be live and ready for messaging with educators on February 18, 2026. ● Parents/Guardians will receive an email invitation to their student’s room(s) by February 19, 2026. We’re excited to bring our communication into one clear, connected experience for you. Nick Blackmer Hartford Public Schools Superintendent
Hola, familias de las Escuelas Públicas de Hartford: Nos complace presentar una nueva herramienta que simplificará nuestra comunicación con ustedes. Rooms, integrada en la aplicación y el sitio web de las Escuelas Públicas de Hartford, ofrece mensajería bidireccional segura. Esta nueva herramienta permite a las Escuelas Públicas de Hartford unir más a la comunidad. Desde mensajes para educadores, eventos, menús de almuerzo y más, ahora todo puede estar en un solo lugar. ¿Por qué Rooms? ● Un lugar para cada mensaje. Se acabó tener que lidiar con varias aplicaciones de comunicación, cambiar de bandeja de entrada o recordar diferentes inicios de sesión. ● Notificaciones de texto. Recibirás notificaciones automáticas de nuevos mensajes, incluso si no has descargado la aplicación de nuestro distrito. ● Seguro y protegido. La moderación integrada y otras herramientas de seguridad nos permiten garantizar la seguridad de todas las comunicaciones, en todo momento. ● Rooms ocupará el lugar de Class Dojo y Remind 101. Qué Esperar: ● Rooms se convertirá en nuestro método principal para toda la comunicación entre el personal, los entrenadores, las familias y los maestros. ● Rooms estará activo y listo para enviar mensajes a los educadores el 18 de febrero de 2026. ● Los padres/guardianes recibirán una invitación por correo electrónico al salón de su(s) estudiante(s) antes del 19 de febrero de 2026. Estamos entusiasmados de ofrecer una experiencia de comunicación clara y conectada. Nick Blackmer Escuelas Públicas de Hartford Superintendente
