Schools implementing new programs and procedures to step up communication


Updated Website Design – We have updated our current website www.csschools.net with a new look and updated information, including progress updates of our 2023 bond projects. We will soon be implementing online registration and enrollment forms under “Final Forms” – This will be a gradual process of replacing our manual forms with online forms. Parents/Guardians will eventually be able to register students online and update information for current students, saving time.

Mobile App
– Along with our website, we now have a new mobile app – “Climax-Scotts Schools”. It includes contact information, easy access to district news and social media, and quick links to our website. Users will also be able to get district alerts, such as snow days or emergencies. Please see the attached flyer for additional information or click the link at the bottom of any of our website pages “Climax-Scotts Schools” App (appazur.com).

Eventlink
– This is our new athletic event scheduler. www.eventlink.com. There is also an Eventlink mobile app. Once you create an account you will be able to subscribe to any team you want to follow to get up to date schedule information. If you just want to see the athletic schedules you can go to www.cspanthers.org.

Transportation Software
– We are in the process of implementing EZRouting, a new transportation software that will allow us to communicate with parents/guardians by bus routes and allow parents/guardians to see if their bus is running on schedule, providing we have up to date phone numbers and email addresses. The mobile app is “BusQuest”. More information coming soon ...

Social Media
– The District has two, and only two, official Facebook pages; Climax-Scotts Panthers is our district page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551560338212; “Climax-Scotts Athletics” is our athletic page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057690390478. These are the only two Facebook pages that we will be updating. The district also has an Instagram account - cs_schools https://www.instagram.com/cs_schools/?hl=en.

Bond Projects
– We provide “major” bond project updates at www.csschools.net/bond- projects/. This will also be available through our mobile app. If you have questions or comments about our projects, please email CSPR@csschools.net, call 269.746.2402, or see our FAQ. If you are a contractor, please call Frederick’s Construction at 269.349.8428.
