West School uses Konstella, a communication tool for parents and teachers. In addition to a very helpful calendar, Konstella is also used for sign ups and tracking volunteer hours. It is also a convenient tool to access the school directory or message other parents. We ask all parents to join Konstella (for free) so as not to miss out on any important information. If you did not receive an email, you can do one of two things: go to www.konstella.com and request to join West School; OR, you can email westschoolcommunications@gmail.com and request an email invite be sent to them to join. There is also a mobile application you can download on iTunes. ================================================================= Konstella Cheat Sheet:NAVIGATE THE COMMON USE CASES THROUGH THE WEB AND THE MOBILE APPS Below are some useful tips to navigate Konstella.When you get your class assignments - you can add your children to their assigned rooms.Join a RoomPlace your child in his/her classroom so that you are kept in the classroom communication loop.
