Dear Southern Boone School District Families,
We are always working to make communication between families and our schools as simple and effective as possible. Staying connected with your child’s teachers and classwork is a key part of their success, both in the classroom and at home. While strong communication is essential, we’re focused on making it more seamless and user-friendly.
We’re excited to introduce a new solution! Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, we are launching Rooms, a new feature within the Southern Boone School District App. Rooms will allow you to have two-way conversations with your child’s teachers, coaches, and club or group sponsors. You’ll also be able to stay up to date with classroom announcements, athletic updates, and more—all in one convenient place!
We’ll begin transitioning to Rooms in July, and it will replace tools like Remind and other messaging apps. Until then, please continue using Remind for communication with teachers, coaches and club/group sponsors. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, Rooms will be our primary tool for engaging with families, helping us create a consistent, unified communication experience district-wide.
The Southern Boone App currently offers:
Live feed updates
District and school news
Upcoming events
Breakfast and lunch menus
Push notifications for important and urgent announcements
With Rooms, you’ll also gain:
Two-way messaging with teachers, staff and coaches
Classroom announcements, reminders and materials
Automatic translation for multilingual families
What does this mean for you? Simply put—you won’t need a separate app to keep in touch with your child’s teachers and classwork. Almost everything you need will be right inside the Southern Boone School District App. If you haven’t already, you can download the app for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store—just search Southern Boone School District.
Later today, you’ll receive an invite to Rooms by email and text. When it arrives, just follow the link to set up your login.
Once you’ve created your login, you’ll access Rooms through the Southern Boone App. You’ll see a toggle labeled Rooms in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. If you have multiple children in our district, you’ll see all of them listed in your Rooms menu.
We hope this offers a simpler, more connected communication experience for you and your family! For more information, please visit sbschools.us/rooms.
Please reach out with any questions you may have. You can send an email to communications@sbschools.us.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our students, staff and school district!
Yours in Education,
Dr. Tim Roth
School Superintendent
