In tandem with email and phone calls, ParentSquare is our district-wide communication platform. It is a safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication. The multi-language, two-way group messaging, private conversations, district-wide alerts and notices, school websites, and simple user interface keep everyone connected, creating a vibrant school community. JVSD uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.

An account is automatically created for each parent or guardian using the contact information in our student information system. We encourage you to activate your account to download the free mobile app, set your language preferences, and choose how and when you’d like to receive messages.
