About the App

Kennedale ISD, parents, students and community members can now connect together while on-the-go thanks to a new app from School Connect. This unique service allows school districts to manage the app's content through an online management system. The system updates the application's information and allows districts to send push notification alerts to users.
Now parents and other app users can receive news and more while away from their laptop or home computer. For more information about the application, visit SchoolConnectApps.com.

•  Receive unlimited push notifications from the district, schools, teachers, clubs, athletics, and more instantly on your phone;
• Access to district staff phone and email;
•  Ability to favorite pages in the application for quick reference;
• Check student grades via GradeBook;
• Connect with social media services like Twitter and Facebook;
• Quick access to calendars, online meal purchases, athletics and more;

                                                                              

After installing the app on your device, open the School Connect app (This setup is only on the first initial launch):

Then tap 'Save' again. All done!

Once saved, users will have instant mobile access to KISD information featured on the website, as well as receive push notifications from the district, any campus or athletics department.

                     Troubleshooting            (back to top)

During setup of the app, if users experience an unexpected closure of the app or a blank screen, it is recommended to close (see image below) and relaunch the app. This will properly load the saved settings and perform normally. Questions about the app can be directed to School Connect.

Notification Setup

To receive push notifications as a "pop up" on your phone, users must allow this in the Notifications area of the Settings app.
