Everything you need to know about Huddleston Elementary is now in the palm of your hand, thanks to a free mobile app created by one of the school’s students.
Fifth-grader Dominic Tigue began working on the Huddleston app last spring. When the app was ready, he wrote a letter to principal Heidi Pfannenstiel requesting to meet with her.
“He shared with me that he had created a Huddleston app with the support of his father, coding and all. This young entrepreneur set our vision for the app,” says Pfannenstiel.
Huddleston is the only school in the system with its own mobile app, which provides resources to help stakeholders stay connected, informed and involved with the school.
It was unveiled last month during the school’s Parent Information Night.
Immediately after the app’s launch, it had over 100 downloads and several thousand tab visits.
Pfannenstiel says the school hopes to secure sponsors to support the app service.
The school’s goal is to continue finding ways to better communicate with the school’s community.
The free Huddleston mobile app can be downloaded from iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/huddleston-elementary-school/id900666487… or from Google at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app_hessa.layout.
