GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) — Greeneville City Schools (GCS) has launched a new app for families to use on their mobile devices.

The GCS app features a newsfeed for district and school announcements, customizable options and a range of tools like forms and contact numbers/emails.

Superintendent of GCS Steve Starnes told News Channel 11 that the app will streamline communication across schools.

“If you have children in a particular school, you can continue to get those newsfeeds and notifications and those type [of] things,” Starnes said. “So [we] just felt like that was a better tool to help us communicate.”

People can download the new app on the Apple Store or the Google Play store.

Spotify's 'Listening Party' feature falls short of expectations
It’s been three years since Spotify acquired live audio startup Betty Labs, and yet the music streaming service isn’t leveraging the technology to its fullest potential — at least not in our opinion. Betty Labs-owned Locker Room launched in 2020 as a sports-focused social audio app where sports fans could engage in live conversations, create watch parties and react to games in real time. When Spotify bought the app, it rebranded it as Greenroom, a Clubhouse clone that catered to all types of fans, whether they’re interested in sports, fantasy football, music or other topics.
