The Sherwood SGA recently released a new app for students to use, filled with features that will help all students stay up to date on the latest school news and information.

“It’s a success in the making,” said SGA Vice President Caitlin Deerin. The app will, if used as intended, “increase communication between the students and [the SGA],” she added, noting that features such as the bell schedule and news reminders will be convenient for students.

Features of the app include a main menu with news about upcoming events such as pep rallies, senior parent night, and the fall musical. It also includes tabs to access the bell schedule, Edline, Naviance, and the school website with other options allowing students to access information on sports, clubs, and parent news. In addition, users can utilize the app’s notification features to have school-related news pop-up on their phone, and the app provides communication to the SGA with options to email them, call them, or access their Twitter and Instagram accounts. The app is still in its beginning stages, but updates are expected to come regularly in the future. It is currently available in the Apple store for free.
