Marietta City Schools has launched a free mobile application to help keep parents and the community better informed about the district and each school.

Users may tailor the information received by selecting specific schools they wish to follow.

Current news, important alerts, calendar information, school menus, meal pay and staff directories are among the resources available.

The district plans to use analytical data to measure the mobile app’s traffic as a guide for making adjustments and enhancements to the app, said Sommer Vega, the district’s director of Communications, Marketing and Public Relations.

The free app is available on both the iTunes and Google Play stores at “Marietta City Schools.”
