Parents and Guardians, You are receiving invitations through email and text from Apptegy for a new communication service called Rooms. Please accept the invitation even if your school is not yet using Rooms. Every school has a published classroom with a bit more information, so once you are set up, you can see what it looks like. PVHS, RCMS, Pathways, Beatty, Amargosa, Round Mountain, and Gabbs have all started to use Rooms with their teachers. We'll be expanding to more schools next year. The service works through the NCSD App, and once you are signed up, you will automatically be connected to your school and students' teachers each year. It's a one-time registration. Please view our information page if you have questions: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/page/rooms-support
