Mobile Apps that Connect to LPS Systems
Most LPS employees have access to mobile devices (smart phones, tablets) through personal or work situations. Many of the systems LPS uses to conduct business have apps that connect your mobile device with the data you are interested in. Following is an alphabetical listing of some of the major ones in our environment.
Important Notes:
- If using a shared/classroom device, take the extra care to sign out of each app which requires you to log in as soon as you’ve finished within the tool. While this adds a few seconds, it’s a necessary step to keep sensitive information private.
- If you are using an LPS device, please install the app using the Mosyle Manager/Mosyle School app found on your device. If you do not see one of these desired apps within the LPS App Portal, you will need to follow the requisition process to acquire the app.
