Trussville Schools Introduce New Mobile App
A new mobile app aims at improving communication between families and the schools in the Trussville City Schools district.

TRUSSVILLE, AL - Staying connected with the school system just became a little easier for Trussville residents, thanks to a new mobile app introduced by the school system this week. Administration is encouraging all parents, students, and Trussville City School’s staff to download the application as it will act as a key component of the system’s mass notification system.
A report by the Trussville Tribune said the app includes parent and student resources such as notifications, PayPams, Athletics, bus routes, news, grades, Google Classroom and much more. The app is available on both Android and Apple operating systems.
