District 35 is pleased to launch the School Rush APP as a secure tool to remain connected and informed about events in your child’s school. This is only available to District 35 parents and ensures all student information remains private. We encourage all parents to download the School Rush app as we will also make use of this tool for bus updates and priority information from the schools. If you did not receive the School Rush invite, please email Roseanne Nelson (nelsonr@glencoeschools.org).

District 35 no longer supports open access to tools such as Twitter or Facebook at the classroom level. For additional information on our Board Policies related to social media usage, please visit our Board Policies section of our website.
