Hicksville Schools Launches New Mobile App

Press Release From Hicksville Public Schools: Hicksville Public Schools is pleased to announce the launch of its new mobile app. What is a mobile app? An app, short for “application,” is a type of software for digital devices that allows the user to perform specific tasks.

Hicksville Public Schools is using its new app for mobile devices to keep our parents and community members informed of news and important announcements, including the most frequently requested information respondents told the District they wanted on its Community Communications Survey launched back in November, 2019. These include: Staff Directories, Menus, Late Buses, ScholarChip, and athletics. The app also contains a direct link for parents to be connected to the Parent Portal, Twitter, Forms, the Parent Center, School Closings, Communications (who to contact), News, Resources, and Settings.

The new District app is the result of a comprehensive audit of the District’s communications services and the launch of several new communications initiatives by the Office of Public Information.

The District’s new mobile app can be downloaded FREE from the App Store or Google Play - search “Hicksville Public Schools.” After downloading the app, a prompt will ask new users if they would like to select modified settings, such as for a specific school in the District. If not, the user can select “Skip for now” and modify at later date (go to “Settings” on the app).
