Butler 53 mobile app released

We are excited to announce the release of our new Butler 53 mobile app! The intuitive app provides up-to-date information in one convenient location. The app enables easy access to district calendars, news, directories and resources. The app also features push notifications to inform you of school closings and important events. Keeping families informed is a top priority at Butler School District 53. We launched this app because we believe it is the preferred method of communication for our generation of parents. We understand you are very busy and place a premium on convenience when it comes to getting information from our schools. While we have added a variety of communication vehicles over the last few years, this app will pull from many of those sources to provide you with real-time information about our schools. Special thanks to Teacher and Technology Specialist Robert Philipp for helping develop this app. You will find that the District 53 mobile app provides direct access to some of the District’s and schools’ most frequently used online tools. Users can access Edline, schedules, events, school calendars, lunch menus, news and much more. Additionally, the app’s notification feature can send alerts to mobile devices in emergency situations such as a school closing due to weather. Just some of the app’s features include: * Emergency alerts and updates in real time * Updated events and news * Streamlined information about the schools all in one place * Pop-up notifications for school closings and emergencies. The free application is now available to download for iPhone and Android.
