Dear Parents and Guardians,
We’re excited to announce a new feature in our WACO district app called Rooms! This tool will make communication between families and teachers simpler and more effective.
With Rooms, you can:
Send and receive two-way messages with teachers, staff, and coaches
View classroom announcements, reminders, and materials
Track positive behavior and academic achievements
Access automatic translation for easier communication
The WACO app already provides live feed updates, district news, events, menus, and notifications. Now, with Rooms, you’ll have everything you need in one place—no extra apps required.
Getting started is simple:
You’ll soon receive an invite by email or text. Just follow the link to create your login, then open the WACO app and tap “Rooms” at the bottom right of the screen. Families with multiple children will see all their students listed in the menu.
We hope Rooms makes staying connected with your child’s school even easier. For more details, visit our district FAQ page or reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
WACO Community School District
