IMPORTANT Rooms Update
Guardians, we have heard from you and we have been tirelessly working to correct the access issues we have encountered with Rooms in the Longview ISD app. GOOD NEWS! We officially found the technical glitch that caused some teachers and guardians to lose access to Rooms due to roster syncing.
With that said, we wanted you to know a fix is on the way!
Please attempt to login after this holiday weekend and all access issues should be resolved!
