Rutherford County Schools to centralize parent access with Synergy and Apogee

The Director of Schools said the district is introducing two tools to simplify parents’ access to student information and school communications. "One of them being Synergy," the director said, describing it as a transition that will allow parents to check attendance and grades; the director added that the change may feel difficult at first but will be more user-friendly.

The director described Apogee as "our new communication tool for the entire district," saying it will centralize messages about school day activities, extracurriculars and sports so parents will receive communications in a single place. No rollout timeline or training details were provided in the address, and the director acknowledged parents have experienced multiple programs in the past.
