Houston Independent School District Launches New App to Deliver District News

HOUSTON – The Houston Independent School District has launched a new app that will provide district news to families.

The HISD Source app is an app designed to keep families, staff and community members informed and connected, according to the district.

“The HISD Source app is a one-stop destination for district news and updates. Users can stay up-to-date on important announcements, events and stories that impact our schools and community. This app consolidates information available across the district’s various platforms: HoustonISD.org, the HISD news blog, the Daily Source newsletter and social media,” the district said.

The district said the app is a way for the district to connect directly with stakeholders and provide consistent, reliable information and will serve as an educational platform for bonding, back-to-school updates and other important initiatives in the coming months.

“The HISD Source app marks an important milestone in our commitment to transparent and effective communication with our community,” said Alex Elizondo, HISD’s chief public affairs and communications officer. “We are excited to provide our families, staff and community members with a simple way to stay informed and connected with HISD anytime, anywhere.”

The app is available in English and Spanish for download on Apple and Android devices.
