Needs improvement.

It can be cumbersome to navigate. It would also be nice if we had this and ParentVUE combined or linked. Why is there a need for both?

Great communication tool!

CTLS Parent allows quick feedback between school and home!

Excellent I have had the app for several years now and I have not had any problems with the app

Flooded with promotional notifications.

I only use this app to communicate with my child’s teachers. I don’t care about any of the fundraising event or promotional activities. The app provides no ability to filter what messages you care about, so I am bombarded with garbage notifications all day long. Terrible implementation.

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.
