This evening, Columbus County Schools sent invitations for parents to enroll in Rooms, our new parent/teacher communication platform.

Please follow the instructions you received from Thrillshare.com to complete your enrollment. If you did not receive an invitation, your child’s teacher can assist you during Open House and once school begins.

We will also provide additional information and guidance after this initial step.

Thank you for your patience as we introduce this new communication tool!
