- Overview
Keeping you in "The Loop"
-
Colorado Springs School District 11's Mobile App is available for free in the iTunes and Google Play app stores. The mobile app allows users to sign up for push notifications to receive messages from an individual school or from the school district. In addition, grades are now accessible through the mobile app. Keeping you in "The Loop"
The District 11 mass notification system (The D11 Loop) is a messaging system that allows us to communicate with you concerning your child’s assignments, schedule, grades, attendance, lunch balance, and special events happening at school. In addition, in the event of an emergency, D11 Loop is the fastest, most reliable way that your child’s school or the District can get need-to-know information directly to you.
Notifications will be pushed out to the mobile app as well as sent out via texts, emails, and phone calls, depending on the type of notification.
D11 Loop utilizes the contact information for your family that you have provided to your child’s school, and they have documented in PowerSchool. It is important that you communicate with your child’s school regularly to ensure that they always have accurate phone numbers and email addresses on file for your family. If you have multiple students enrolled in our school system, please be sure to touch base periodically with each school.
