A local school district has remodeled its website and created an app. 

Superintendent Mary Vogt (Voh-t) says their new website ties in directly to the app. The app gives access to all the information you need from the school, and even be notified. The new URL for the website is bement.k12.il.us, Vogt points out that although the URL may be long, it would have cost a few hundred dollars a month more. 

Vogt explains Bement Schools have been without technical support for quite some time. They had an inter-governmental agreement with Monticello, and were using their tech support team. Now, they use the same platform as Monticello schools, but under their own contract. 

Some of the main benefits of this app are being immediately notified by live feed items like schedule changes, cancellations, or other kinds of important news. Unfortunately, you will not be able to pay things like lunch bills on it. 

Both the app and site are now live. If you'd like more info about Bement Schools, visit the new website at bement.k12.il.us
