As the new school year approaches, Sarasota County Schools (SCS) is excited to roll out several innovative technology and communication tools designed to enhance the educational experience for students, parents, and staff. One of the key additions is Rooms, a two-way communication platform now integrated into the new SCS Mobile App.
Rooms will serve as a centralized hub for communication, making it easier for schools, teachers, coaches, staff, guardians, and students to stay connected. This streamlined approach is expected to significantly improve the flow of information and ensure that important updates are shared in a timely and efficient manner.
