In August 2018, Grand Forks Public Schools launched a free mobile app. Mobile apps are an easy way to provide on-demand access to information that drives student success. This app is for anyone who would like to access news, calendar events, and resources about Grand Forks Public Schools on their smartphone.

To download the app on your phone:

• Visit the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackboard.community.gfschools
• Once the app is installed, it will ask you if you would like to receive push notifications (pop-up notifications that will display on your phone). If you would like to, answer “yes.”

To follow your child’s/neighborhood school(s) to receive notifications and access news, calendar events, and resources:
