BASD New Website and App !
In April , the Bellefonte Area School District migrated to a new and improved website ! Still located at www . basd . net - it provides a more updated look with the consistent access of information that users have had in the past . This new website is run by the company Apptegy and our district ’ s technology team - those including Eric Funk , Nate Olson , and Arlin Roth - have worked tirelessly over these past few months to help the Apptegy team move the information from the old site on to the new one .
This new website also provides the district with a user friendly app . Individuals with smartphones can go to their favorite app store and search " Bellefonte Area SD " and select the one with the crest . The app includes a school feed , lunch menus , school calendar , and the general website information for each building and staff member . The app also allows users to set up notifications for specific buildings or the district as a whole . These great additions will help to keep our community informed about the important events and wonderful people in our district .
