The Elwood Public School app is now version 2.0! You will notice a very different look but all the same information is there. One thing you will probably have to do is go into the settings are re-select if you want to receive push notifications from Elwood Public School, Hi-Line Bulls or both. The graphic explains how to do this. If you haven't downloaded the app before this would be a great time to get it and stay connected wherever you are.
