Features

Classes

When a student logs into Rooms, the first page they’ll see is the Classes Homepage. This page gives them quick and easy access to all of their classes, and can view notifications within each class.

Translations

Rooms offers the ability to translate any message, class information section, or Class Stream content quickly and easily across both desktop and mobile. Built on Google’s framework, teachers and guardians can be on the same page regardless of what language is spoken at home. Nothing is lost in translation with Rooms.

Messages

Rooms offers better parent-teacher communication. Parents can see classroom announcements and message teachers in the same app where they get district and school news and updates. Teachers can find all of their messages on one platform. Students can message their teacher directly with questions about upcoming assignments. This is a safe space for student-teacher communication that is monitored by administrators.

Stream

Students can see class announcements and upcoming assignments within a particular class. Teachers and staff can upload class content, and students and guardians can view any new updates.

Materials

Our Materials feature takes away the time and stress of filing hard copy supplemental resources and curriculum notes. Teachers can upload and organize their entire semester's worth of documents in one sitting. The best part? When a new semester begins, simply copy, paste and recycle your previous curriculum documents. Your new semester is ready in a matter of minutes!

Behavior

Your students are doing great things in the classroom—and Rooms helps everyone celebrate. With Behavior, teachers can allocate points to their students for classroom participation, good behavior, and demonstrating your school’s values. Positive behavior can easily be seen by guardians right inside the app, allowing them to stay connected with their student’s points and achievements.
