The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

On Wed., March 13, the Waitsburg School District launched a groundbreaking branding campaign for the district. User-friendly websites and mobile apps for each school will help connect the Waitsburg community. The campaign is part of a larger effort to highlight the achievements taking place every day across the district.

The new website and app include information such as dining menus, events calendars, real-time updates on sports scores, school document links, and even a live feed. The free app for Android and iPhone sends emergency notifications directly to those who download the app. The technology is designed with both families and schools leaders in mind.

This effort is in partnership with Apptegy, an education technology company based in Little Rock, Arkansas. The company created Thrillshare, a marketing platform that empowers teachers, students, and administrators to share stories of growth in the district.
