CB District Mobile App
Dear Parents,
Central Bucks School District has a mobile app!
The CBSD mobile app provides a convenient way to connect with your school and access all the information you need – right on your mobile device. Parents can customize the app so they receive news and information from their children’s schools including easy access to lunch menus, a staff directory and notifications pushed directly to the app to alert you of important messages from the district or school.
View our video to learn about our new app and the great features that will help keep you up-to-date on the latest school activities, announcements, events and more!
Our app is now available in both the Apple Store and Google Play and can be downloaded to mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, Android Phones, etc.
Go to the App Store or Google Play
Search "Central Bucks School District"
Select "Free" and then "Install"
You will need to know your Apple or Google account password
After it has installed select "Open"
Once you launch the app the first time, you will be prompted to select the schools you wish to follow.
If you would like to follow additional schools or remove a school, you can do so under the Settings in the app.
We hope you will try this convenient new way of us communicating with you!
Mill Creek Twitter!
Our goal this year will be to continue to provide up-to-date information directly to our parents and community members using Twitter.
Our Twitter feed will also show up in your activity feed when you download the new Central Bucks School District Mobile App.
Check us out! @CBMillCreek
