Channelview ISD launches free Mobile App

The latest news and information from schools in Channelview ISD are now available on smartphones and mobile devices with a new mobile app launched this week.

The district has partnered with SchoolWires to expand its communications outreach with a mobile app that is now available in the online iTunes® and Google Play® app stores for free.

The Channelview ISD mobile app will offer a constantly updated feed of district news and events with photos and links to the district’s mobile responsive website. The app can also be customized by the user by selecting the schools they are most interested in for news and updates.

Users can also choose to receive push notifications to get breaking news and updates about school closures, calendar changes, or even sports updates.

“We know that our students are more successful in schools when parents are engaged in their learning and school activities,” said Greg Ollis, Superintendent of Channelview ISD. “With our new mobile app, parents and community members can stay connected with our schools and with the activities our students are engaged in every day.”
