📱 Did you receive a text message about Apptegy Rooms? It’s legitimate!
Some Clarkston families and staff received an unexpected text message directly from Apptegy today about a communication tool called Rooms. Because we had not yet introduced Rooms, we completely understand why some of you wondered if the message was spam. We appreciate those who reached out to check!
There is nothing you need to do at this time.
Rooms is a communication tool that may be used for specific groups and activities, such as athletics and other extracurricular programs. It will replace ParentSquare for these types of communications.
Our regular district communication is not changing. Clarkston School District will continue to send district announcements, alerts, and other communication through Thrillshare just as we have in the past.
If a coach, teacher, advisor, or other staff member chooses to use Rooms with your student, they will communicate directly with you and provide information about how to get connected.
We apologize for the confusion caused by the message arriving before we had an opportunity to share this information with you.
