Last spring we added Rooms, an extension of our current website and mobile app. This platform allows parents and students the ability to follow important classroom information and also provides a direct line of communication to the classroom teacher. Many of you have already signed up for this platform and are using it in connection with the Edmunds Central App. If you have not yet signed up, please check your email for an invitation to join Rooms (email will come from a company called Thrillshare). Our goal is to make Rooms the primary mode of communication between teachers, parents, and even students. Please visit the link below (which is also available on our website) for more information regarding Rooms.
