We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with families. Rooms, built right into our Friendship app and website, offers a secure messaging platform.

This addition allows Friendship Schools to bring the community closer together. Through our website and our mobile app, our students, our families, and our community can access all of the information they need. From messages to events, lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.

Why Rooms?
• One place for every message. No more juggling apps or logins.
• Text notifications. Families get notified automatically of new messages even if they haven’t logged in or downloaded the district app.
• Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us, and you, to stay compliant across all communications.

This is about more than convenience. It’s about giving families a consistent, reliable experience—every time they hear from us. To learn more about the key features of Rooms, click here.

What to Expect:
• You’ll get an easy-to-follow orientation.
• Rooms will become our primary way to message families.
• Rooms will be live and ready for messaging on August 20, 2026!

Thank you for helping us bring our communication—and our district brand—into one clear, connected experience.

Kennedy Hunt is a power house! She's not even in an art course this year. She is a true artist. Can't deny talent. Her art was entered into St Bonaventure University by Mrs Welka It was a Juried Art Show. Getting in requires having your work judged to be only the best. It is a multi county competition of heavy weight artists. We'll call Kennedy Mike Tyson because this amazing artist knocked them all out and took First Place in Best Painting. They know her value and threw in a $1000 scholarship to get her thinking about their campus. Sweetly they also awarded a large acrylic painting kit. Our kids in our small town can play it big ! I'm so excited Kennedy Is taking an Indeoendent art class next year. Let's make a portfolio and make some plans for you.
