We are always working to improve and simplify communication between you and Alexander Local School District. Keeping up with your child’s coursework and their teachers directly impacts their wellbeing both in the classroom and at home. School communication plays a big part in all of this, but it’s often not set up to be as simple and easy to access as it could be.
That’s what we’re working to solve. This year, we’re adding a new feature called Rooms to our district app. Rooms enables you to have two-way parent-teacher conversations and keep up with classroom announcements. Rooms is replacing the Remind System as the classroom communication tool for parents, students, and teachers.
Our district app currently offers
Live feed updates
District and school news
Upcoming events
Push notifications for important and urgent announcements
With Rooms, you’ll have access to even more exciting features like
Two way messaging with teachers, staff, and coaches
Classroom announcements, reminders about coursework, and material
Behavior tracking for celebrating good behavior and academic achievement
So what does all of this mean for you? This means that you don’t need another app or tool to keep up with your child’s teachers and coursework. You’ll be able to find the vast majority of school and district information in one place: within our Alexander Local School District (ALSD) app by searching in your app store. If you don’t already have it, the district app is free and you can search “alexander local schools, oh” in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store!
Soon you'll receive an invite to Rooms by email or text. Once you receive the invite, you'll follow the link on your browser to create a login.
After you’ve created your login, you can access Rooms through the app. Once you’re there, you’ll see a toggle at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Just touch Rooms to get started. If you have multiple children attending our district, you’ll see them all listed in the menu section of Rooms.
We hope this offers you a richer, simpler—and ultimately—easier communication experience. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.

Work continues on the Inclusive Playground build. The build volunteers have completed the initial installation of equipment and a contractor has leveled and added the aggregate base to the playground. Next steps will be to install the two-tone rubber play surface and allow that to cure and then install the remaining items on the structures as needed. After this is done the systems will be inspected and certified for use. This is great progress made by our volunteers and the committee from the Alexander Inclusive playground (https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderInclusivePG) As a reminder, the equipment has not been completely installed and certified. Additionally the rubber play surface will require some amount of cure time before it can be walked on. We are asking that everyone refrain from walking on and using the playground until we officially open it.
We are excited to announce that our community volunteers have made excellent progress on the new playground. Thanks to their hard work, we are currently operating ahead of schedule. We know that many are excited to see the progress, but we ask that community members please refrain from use of the playground in its current state. It is an active construction zone and there is still a great deal that must be done before it can be used safely. We can’t wait to update the community and share this space with all of you once the project is complete.
From Alexander local Schools: This is a reminder that the ACCS Peanut Butter and Jelly Event will be held tomorrow starting at 10 AM in front of the cafeteria. The event will run through 12 PM.
We're thrilled to announce the new app for Alexander Schools! It's everything Alexander Schools, in your pocket.
