The home for all things Alvin ISD has an upgrade as the district launches a new website and app in order to better communicate with the community.
The district’s website has become outdated as technology and website viewing habits drastically changed in recent years. With a new clean, responsive design and an app that can push out notifications to those who have downloaded it, the district hopes parents, families, staff, students, and community members will be able to find the information they are looking for when they visit.
“The website features more graphics and a more modern design,” shared Renae Rives, Alvin ISD Executive Director of Communications. “The new site will really showcase students’ accomplishments in academics, the arts, sports, and much more.”
The Alvin ISD website, www.alvinisd.net, still contains the same type of content, just laid out a little differently.
The mobile app is available for iPhone and Android devices with school information such as events, cafeteria menus, emergency notifications, and other pertinent information. The effort is in partnership with Apptegy, an education technology company based in Little Rock, Arkansas.
“This new website and app makes it much easier for Alvin ISD to get timely information out to the public in ways that are convenient for them,” said Rives. “The ability to post once and have it appear in multiple places is a powerful way to get our messages out to social media and mobile devices. We recognize this is where many people consume information today and we want to provide accurate information as quickly as possible.”
