"We are thrilled with the launch of the Olathe Public Schools mobile app," Director of Communications Maggie Kolb said. "Keeping our parents informed is vital and this app is just one more way we can accomplish this goal. We hope that all parents download the free app and feel more connected to the Olathe Public Schools."

As student safety is a priority for Olathe Public Schools, an engaging feature of the mobile app is the Safe Schools Safe Students Tip Line.
