We’ve got exciting news for our athletics families! Starting July 1, all team communication—like schedules, practice updates, and coach messages—will happen on the Stack Team App! This app is just for athletics, and it’s the new official way to stay in the loop with your child’s teams. 💡 Important: Simply downloading the app won’t get you all the updates—you’ll need to search for and follow each team your child plays on to start receiving messages, schedules, and alerts. (You can follow more than one!)

Some teams are still being added to the platform. If you’re not seeing your group listed yet: Double-check spelling in the search bar Ask your coach for the exact team name Or contact us for help at info@dalton.k12.ga.us Need help or more info? https://www.daltonpublicschools.com/page/athletics-communications Let’s get game-day ready—see you on Stack Team App!
