Awful & Useless

CTLS has been ridiculously glitchy & a poor user experience from the beginning, but now it is completely useless! I cannot access any messages from my kids’ teachers, schools or the district. This is a problem as all teachers in the district have been threatened and forced to use this TERRIBLE app to communicate with parents. I’m unable to see information about my kids even though I get the email notifications. Other platforms exist for this purpose - platforms that WORK. Instead this school district decided to give all the money to a friend of the superintendent to build an AWFUL app that instead of helping us to support our students, keeps us frustrated and in the dark. I hate CTLS and everyone involved.

Frustrated parent

I have had the app for three years and not have had a problem since December 2024 it has been giving me problems and it is now February 2025 and I am still having problems staying logged in. When I tried to login, it is not letting me login and I have my information written down to ensure that I have the correct login information. I deleted the app totally off my phone. Re-downloaded it three different times and this third time it is still not allowing me to login. I am beginning to get a little frustrated with it because I am missing important information on my child that is in the Norton Park elementary I hope something can be done about this. In the meantime I will try to contact the service to see what is the problem. Hope it gets better.

Good communications

CTLS really help me stay in touch with teachers and easy to send notes. Thank you

It is difficult hard to understand

I do not understand not helpful doesnt work

The app is okay but…

The app is okay but the system that it’s connected through creates glitches that affect parents and their feelings toward the educational system. Even being required to use such apps is harmful to those with beliefs that state no use of technology, along with their children/family. I’ve noticed system improvements but not through the entire system.
