McKinney ISD launches misdGo! (aka - Your Own MISD 911 Resource on your PHONE!)

misdGO - McKinney ISD -

Are you a parent of a McKinney ISD Student? If so, have you ever done the following?

  • woken up at 5:30 am to log on to your computer to find out if the snow that has fallen overnight will delay or cancel school?
  • fumbled through a giant stack of papers looking for a school lunch menu to see if you should pack a lunch or risk having your child go hungry if they don't like what's being served that day?
  • tried to find the football schedule to see who is playing at Home on Friday night?

If so, and if you're like me who can't go ANYWHERE without my Droid smartphone, then YOU. ARE. IN. LUCK!!!!
