Tucson Unified School District:
Located in Arizona, United States, our client Tucson Unified School District is the largest school district in the state, serving nearly 50,000 students. The vision is to take care of other schools by providing students, parents, and teachers with the knowledge, skills, and facilities to be successful in careers and life. Because everybody has mobile moments throughout the day, Tucson’s mobile strategy and functionality now manage all state-level schools.
Client’s Requirement
Tucson wanted to build a platform to create and maintain long-lasting relationships between school staff and parents. They wanted to have something that can be used through a mobile app. Their technical team was busy figuring out which applications would be needed and what priority, amongst the seemingly countless options. For insight into overall app usage, Dash was able to explore, engage, and experience its full potential with a mobile app.
Our Approach
The goal of this mobile app development is to drive parent-school engagement through strategy implementation and provide opportunities for staff and parents to build authentic relationships to improve students’ academic and socio-emotional development. Keeping this evolved success model in mind, Tucson needed Dash to catch up with the times to share different materials for students, volunteers, and parents related to the multiple activities that belong to the school.
Utilizing Dash Technologies’ continued support, Tucson’s goal of keeping students engaged during their schooling and far into their future careers is realistic and fully achievable.
