As the school bells ring in a new academic year, the Okaloosa County School District is reminding parents that staying informed is just a tap away.

  • In a news release issued Monday, district officials highlighted two mobile apps designed to keep families in the loop about everything from lunch menus to emergency notifications.

“Parents and guardians can easily access their student’s schedule, grades, and attendance by downloading the FOCUS App,” said Catherine Card, the district’s public information officer.

The FOCUS app serves as a digital backpack for student-specific information, allowing parents to track multiple children’s academic progress through a single account. From checking current schedules to reviewing report cards, the app aims to put vital information at parents’ fingertips.

For a broader view of district happenings, the OCSD Apptegy App offers a one-stop shop for school and district news, events, and important documents. The app also provides quick access to staff contact information and a calendar of events.

  • “Both apps are available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play,” Card added.

For those seeking more information about the apps or other district matters, officials encourage visiting www.okaloosaschools.com.

As students settle into their new routines, the Okaloosa County School District hopes these digital resources will help families stay on top of the 2024-2025 school year, one notification at a time.
