Parent communication app: Band app

This year we are stepping away from using Remind and starting to use the Band app- a communication app used by groups, not just bands! This app is already used by several organizations in our disctrict, including our high school band, so we would like to streamline this process for our guardians. We also hope this helps guardians to have access to events and information that they don’t feel like they receive at home in a timely fashion. Paper copies of calendars and information will still be sent home but will also be linked on the Band app in case your student loses their paper or does not make it home with it.

Furthermore, the Band app has the ability to have a calendar of events for you, send notifications when we post something, and allows for photo uploads from events! I hope using this app will be successful and look forward to having a hub of information readily available all on one app. I am also excited to have photos uploaded that you capture as I do not always get photos of events for use for the school’s social media and yearbook.

Please use the QR code below to join our “band” (note that this is what the app calls a group and is not referring to a musical band). I will be approving all invites as I only want NMS band/ choir families on there. Please fill out the profile prompt with your name and your child’s. In order to do this you will need to click on the band logo on the home page to sign in to the NMS Band/ Choir “band”. Once you do this, you should see icons at the bottom such as calendar, files, and albums.

Please let me know if you need help or have questions!
