The CCSD Mobile App is a FREE application for a smartphone or mobile device that provides the user with quick and easy access to information available on the district’s and/or schools’ websites. The CCSD Mobile App is provided by the district’s communications partner, Blackboard.

The district is always reviewing its plans and resources for communication and community engagement. This is the next step in providing students, parents, staff, and community members with timely updates and useful information.

The CCSD Mobile App allows the user to receive push notifications from the district and school for callouts and emails, as well as access to news from the district website and social media platforms. The service also allows the user to customize their app by incorporating all of the schools the children in a family attend.

Access to other popular information such as menus for school meals, transportation, PowerSchool, and the academic calendar will be made easier through the app as well.

Anyone with access to a smartphone or mobile device can download and use the CCSD Mobile App. It is not yet available for Windows devices and cannot be accessed by a computer.

Android 2.2 and higher and iOS 6 and higher will support the app.

Once you download the CCSD Mobile App, click on the “Customize Your App” icon. From there, you will be able to select the school(s) you would like to follow, and which feature(s) would like to have access to (notifications, news, social media).

You also have the option to customize what you receive from your schools, such as notifications (callouts and emails), news through the school/district website, and social media platforms.

The “Find My School” serves as a link to the Cropper Tool on the CCSD website, which allows you to enter your address and determine the attendance zones for your neighborhood schools and which magnet and constituent district magnet schools you can apply to.

You must already have the PowerSchool app (separate from the CCSD Mobile App) downloaded to your device. Then, when you click on the PowerSchool icon in the CCSD Mobile App, you will be able to enter PowerSchool.

Two icons in the CCSD Mobile App, “Job Opportunities” and “School Meals,” take you to external websites that are not maintained by the district’s website provider, Blackboard. Regardless, the information on these websites is still accessible through mobile devices.

The CCSD Mobile App pulls information from the school/district websites and social media platforms. If a school does not update its “School News & Announcements” section of the website, or does not update its official Facebook page, then you will not see updated content from the school.

There are a few charter schools that do not use Blackboard as their website provider or for their notification system; content for the CCSD Mobile App for those schools will be limited.
