1. 4/5Frustrated parent

   I have had the app for three years and not have had a problem since December 2024 it has been giving me problems and it is now February 2025 and I am still having problems staying logged in. When I tried to login, it is not letting me login and I have my information written down to ensure that I have the correct login information. I deleted the app totally off my phone. Re-downloaded it three different times and this third time it is still not allowing me to login. I am beginning to get a little frustrated with it because I am missing important information on my child that is in the Norton Park elementary I hope something can be done about this. In the meantime I will try to contact the service to see what is the problem. Hope it gets better.

2. 1/5Awful & Useless

   CTLS has been ridiculously glitchy & a poor user experience from the beginning, but now it is completely useless! I cannot access any messages from my kids’ teachers, schools or the district. This is a problem as all teachers in the district have been threatened and forced to use this TERRIBLE app to communicate with parents. I’m unable to see information about my kids even though I get the email notifications. Other platforms exist for this purpose - platforms that WORK. Instead this school district decided to give all the money to a friend of the superintendent to build an AWFUL app that instead of helping us to support our students, keeps us frustrated and in the dark. I hate CTLS and everyone involved.

3. 1/5Useless and confusing !

   Well, we are less than 24 hours away from starting school and I’m more confused now, than I was a month ago. I’ve printed ALL the emails, highlighted what we needed to know, organized it into a notebook and as I’m going back to read through the information, it’s redundant and does not help in any way, shape, form or fashion! We can’t download the app to our computers....but we can to our phones? Is my child supposed to use his phone for school? There are no instructions, no helpful information and we have ZERO clarity as to what we are supposed to be doing come 8:30 tomorrow morning. It should be interesting to see the invariable circus that will happen tomorrow and in the days following. I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that they won’t have it resolved until.....probably May of next year. 🙄 My son should be a Senior this year but I don’t see this class graduating or being able to have a better quality of learning this year, if this is the best Cobb County can offer, even after “working on this platform for ten years.” And if I read ‘Chris Ragsdale’s’ name one more time in these emails, I’m gonna pop a vein! I could not care any less about what he thinks or what he is planning. Those are words. Not actions. Right now, my husband is working at Cobb County Board of Education, REMODELING THEIR OFFICES! Really???? (He comes home with stories every day about the powers that be, running around like chickens with their heads cut off but not making any real progress this year. Yep....sounds about right. Shouldn’t you guys be focused on nailing down what the next move should be or fixing the bugs in your online learning system, rather than remodeling your office?!?!? Ugh. Rant over!

4. 1/5This system is defunct!

   In the first 7 days, my high school senior has only been able to fully attend first period ONCE due to the constant and daily outages and connectivity issues with this platform. As a 20-year veteran teacher who taught in-person and online (high school and college), this is the biggest joke of an LMS I have ever seen. How in any way, shape, or form this is an acceptable alternative to F2F or even quality/reliable virtual teaching and learning is beyond me. If my child wasn’t a senior, we would remove her from school. Please note: we moved to this county specifically for the school system. This is the best you could come up with in the 6 months you had??

5. 2/5Disappointed

   I am extremely disappointed in Cobb county schools and their preparation for virtual learning for this school year. There has only been one day since school started that the program worked as it should. The parent app has very little useful information about what my child is doing in school and I get way too many unnecessary updates. I am also shocked that the school system failed to realize that not every child has a parent at home with them. Some children are with grandparents or babysitters and Cobb county has made it EXTREMELY difficult for working parents to stay on top of this virtual learning. I cannot address emails in the moment regarding glitches/issues with the system while I am at work. Maybe for parents with older children things are easier but for my 1st grader this system is nearly impossible for us to manage. Strongly considering pulling my child out of school and finding a home school curriculum until classes resume F2F. I am at a loss for words at how after all this time to prepare virtual learning got worse from the spring when they had no preparation.
