WBSD APP, "ROOMS" IS THE NEW ATHLETICS COMMUNICATION TOOL FOR COACHES, PLAYERS, FAMILIES

Communicating with coaches just got easier as the WBSD is moving toward one communication platform for our coaching staff.

"Rooms," is built into the WBSD app, so parents only have to go to one place to communicate with coaches instead of multiple apps.

Rooms offers a Stream, where coaches can post announcements and content for all to see. In Messages, coaches can message parents individually if needed. Lastly, messages and announcements will automatically be translated according to the language setting on your device. That means if your phone is set to Spanish, Messages and Announcements within Rooms will automatically be translated to Spanish—without you having to change a single setting on the app.

If parents did not accept the invitation for Rooms which was pushed in December, they can go to edurooms.com and sign in with their cell phone number to be automatically connected to their students’ Rooms. NOTE: this must be the same cell phone number associated with their student(s) in Mistar. One of the benefits to Rooms is you only have to sign up once.

Have more questions about Rooms? See the WBSD homepage at https://www.mywbsd.org/o/wbsd/page/rooms-support for more support.
