A Semester in Review

Here's a recap of what's been going on at the RSS library since September.

Homework Now App

As you may have heard, the My HomeworkNOW & School Alerts Applications for iPhone, iPad and Android devices have been released to the iTunes app store and Android Market. (See the press release that was released this past Tuesday here.) The app has been installed on thousands of parent/student devices in less than a week!

These app allow parents and students the ability to stay connected to your school and classes more easily. With this app parents and students can:

• receive school alerts (such as closings, emergencies, back pack notices, announcements, etc.) with real time notifications
• view the latest school/district wide notifications on-demand
• view classroom information and homework on-demand
• get notifications when teachers update a class page or homework assignment.

More information on the apps and how to get them can be found on the HomeworkNOW support site. The direct links are below:
