**Tech for Parents/Guardians** You might receive another Rooms invitation request as a text message or email. If you have a child returning to school next school year, and if you haven't already registered for your Rooms guardian account, we encourage you to do so. This will get you ready for communications from teachers for next school year. The Rooms account is free, secure, and works inside the Colstrip School mobile app. No need for a new app, use the same one you already have for District communications. (and if you don't have the app...it's just an easy tap away on Apple and Android).
If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to the Tech Supervisor, Evan Stewart, at evan.stewart@colstrip.k12.mt.us.
