Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) has officially launched Rooms, a new two-way communication platform designed to improve how families connect with their child's school.
Beginning this week, families will start receiving messages and updates directly from teachers, coaches, and school staff through the MPS mobile app or a secure web-based platform. The new system is intended to streamline communication and ensure families stay informed and engaged in their child's education.
Rooms provides a centralized space for all school-related communication, allowing families to receive important updates through text messages, push notifications, or email. The platform eliminates the need for multiple logins, offering a single access point for classroom information, school announcements, and district updates.
District leaders say the platform was implemented to create a more accessible and user-friendly experience for families. In addition to its convenience, Rooms includes automatic language translation, helping ensure communication is accessible to families in their preferred language.
Families can expect:
Real-time messages and updates from teachers and school staff
One centralized inbox for classroom, school, and district communication
Flexible notification options via text, app, or email
Access through a free mobile app or secure web experience
Built-in language translation for improved accessibility
Getting started is simple. Families should watch for incoming messages or announcements from their school, use the provided links to respond or follow up, and update their notification settings to choose how and when they receive updates.
To stay connected on the go, families are encouraged to download the free Montgomery Public Schools mobile app, available for both Android and iPhone devices.
MPS officials say Rooms represents a significant step forward in strengthening communication and partnership between schools and families, ensuring that important information is always within reach.
