Communication with Families

We keep families informed through our website, social media, email, phone calls, texts, and newsletters. These tools help share important announcements and events quickly and clearly. To make it even easier, our mobile and online apps help families stay connected and engaged wherever they are. Below are details regarding the apps available for parents.
HCSD Mobile App

HCSD Mobile App

During the summer of 2025, we launched our custom mobile app designed to streamline communication between schools and families by replacing the need for multiple apps for parents like Class Dojo and Remind. 

When the app launched, parents were able to:

  • Follow the District and schools
  • View a calendar of events for both District and schools
  • Read news stories and announcements pertaining to all students

Once school begins in July 2025, families will be able to:

  • Connect directly with their child's teacher through the Classrooms feature
  • Receive important alerts and notifications from their child's teacher and school
  • View important documents related to your child's class and school
  • Use two-way communication between teachers and parents

While the school-based content is limited during the summer, we already have useful information in the app including school supply lists and Meet and Greet dates for the upcoming year.

MySchoolBucks App

Our School Nutrition Department uses MySchoolBucks for student meal payments.  While parents can send a check or cash to your child's school, this app is a convenient way for some parents to pay directly through an account online.
