The August 14 launch of ASD Chat has been delayed due to vendor technical issues.
We recognize the timing is difficult as schools prepare to welcome students and families back. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We will continue to provide updates as we learn more.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we manage this unexpected delay

Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, the Anchorage School District (ASD) is introducing ASD Chat, a new messaging tool within the ASD Mobile App. ASD Chat will replace Remind as the district-supported platform schools and teachers may use to communicate with students and families.
Available starting August 2026, ASD Chat provides a secure, centralized way for teachers to share classroom updates, reminders and important information with families and students age 13 and older.
Benefits of ASD Chat include:
Receive classroom messages directly through the ASD Mobile App.
Secure, district-supported communication between teachers, families and students age 13 and older.
What families should know:
Teacher participation is optional.
Schools/teachers who opt to use ASD Chat will contact their school/classroom families directly.
Additional information, including how to access and begin using ASD Chat, will be shared before the platform launches on August 14.
