All GMCS guardians have received an invitation to our new two-way communication platform, Rooms! Check your text messages or email for your invitation.
Getting started is easy: Use the link in your invitation or open the GMCS App and select “Rooms.”
The first time you sign in, use the email address or phone number that received your invitation. You’ll receive a sign-in code and then be connected to Rooms. Any guardian can log in with their phone number or email, create a password, and access the platform that way. They just need to log in to Thrillshare.com.
Once connected, families can:
• Stay up to date on class announcements, updates, and information
• Read and reply to messages from teachers and school staff
• Ask questions and send messages directly
• Keep track of information for each of their child’s classes — all in one place!
As we continue rolling out this new platform across our schools, teachers are putting the finishing touches on their ‘Rooms’. Be sure to check back regularly as more ‘Rooms’ become available, with full classroom communication coming together soon.
The GMCS App is highly recommended for the easiest and fullest experience, giving families a convenient way to access Rooms and stay connected wherever they are. DON'T FORGET: type in "Gallup-McKinley County Schools" in your app store to find it. Don’t have the app? Rooms can also be accessed through Thrillshare on any internet browser. We're excited for you to discover a simpler, more convenient way to stay connected to your child’s classroom and school community.
