Free app makes EBF information accessible through mobile devices

Eddyville, (November, 2013) – Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont CSD today announced the release of a new, EBF-wide mobile communications application from School Connect, a leading developer of mobile applications for K-12 school systems and institutions. Brought to EBF by Jostens, the free mobile app is available for Apple and Android mobile devices and keeps the entire school community connected to the Rocket information they need in one convenient location on users’ mobile devices.

Understanding the busy schedules of parents, students, and patrons, EBF’s official mobile app from School Connect enables smartphone and tablet users to keep track of important Rocket information and receive notices from the district, faculty, and staff, all in real-time via push and email messaging. The mobile app enhances engagement by providing users with access to information like school activities, grade books, notes from teachers, athletic schedules and scores, lunch menus, and school calendars when and where they choose to view.

The EBF School Connect app is now available to download and use for free for Apple and Android users. Visit http://www.schoolconnectservices.com/ebf for more information.

The communication service was brought to the District at no cost through a partnership between School Connect and Jostens, a leading provider of products, programs and services that help people tell their stories, celebrate important traditions and recognize achievement. School Connect and Jostens understand the importance of keeping the school community connected and are providing app development and hosting services to the school district for free with no download charges for mobile users. The EBF app is financially supported by school-friendly and approved sponsors.
