New District Website Went Live on

December 21

The District launched a new and improved website on December 21st. The
launch of the new website is the culmination of two years of communications
platform upgrades for the District that includes new school websites, a
District mobile app, and a new parent portal. All websites with the District are
now mobile friendly and parents should notice a similar design to find things
easily when navigating between school and district websites.

The website is interconnected with the District’s mobile app, launched
Summer 2017, and can be downloaded from the Apple iTunes Store and
Google Play Store for free.
Emergency alerts will now display at the top of the page and because the
sites are cloud-based they will remain available during power outages,
hurricanes or other emergencies.
“The District is committed to making it as easy as possible for parents
and the public to engage with our schools and the completion of this CONGRATS
project removes the outdated platforms that were not conducive to online
engagement for district and student information,” said Amity Schuyler the
District’s Chief of Staff.

Download the District Mobile App

If you haven’t already done so, you should download the District mobile app
from the App Stores. Search on “School District of Palm Beach County”,
“Palm Beach County Schools”, or “Palm Beach County School District”. The
District mobile app provides up-to-date news and information for parents,
students, and community members on all the great things happening in
our schools. Use it frequently to look up school cafeteria menus, calendar
/ event information, school choice options and information, your school’s
phone #, and School Board meeting dates and information.

Phase 2 of the mobile app was deployed in time for the 1st day of school
in August 2018. You can now “follow” the schools your children attend and
receive push notifications relating to school events and announcements.
