District Vision:

Develop a diverse curriculum that empowers students and staff to accomplish our mission.
Attract, retain, empower, develop, and reward a highly effective diverse staff.

Goal Statement: To provide open communication and between families and schools, the IVC School District will utilize the following technologies to communicate with our stakeholders:
Purpose of IVCUSD Social Media Usage
The IVC Unit School District utilizes social media platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, as tools for one-way communication to inform and engage our families, students, community members, and the general public. These platforms serve to highlight student and district accomplishments, promote district events, and foster positive community relations. The guidelines are designed to ensure that our social media presence reflects the district’s commitment to transparency, celebration of achievements, and effective information sharing.
ParentSquare: Communication Platform
https://www.parentsquare.com/signin
By unifying multiple tools into one communications app and service, ParentSquare provides a seamless experience for parents and staff. Parents will be able to keep track of news, activities, and events from all their children’s schools in one place. District 321 hopes that ParentSquare’s intuitive, two-way platform will foster greater communication and family involvement. With ParentSquare, parents can enjoy photos posted by teachers, fill out forms and permission slips, sign up for parent-teacher conferences, and much more. School staff and parents can engage in both one-to-one and group messaging with real-time language translation.
District 321’s partnership with ParentSquare will enable stronger engagement between school and home, and help empower everyone within the school community to stay connected and informed.
TeacherEase: Learning Management System
Teacherease provides parents and students detailed information about individual teacher classroom assignments, lessons, handouts, materials, expectations and procedures. TeacherEase also allows each teacher, school, and district administrators to send individual, school-wide, and/or district-wide announcements to each parent's personal email address. To add or confirm your email address, please contact your child's school.
IVC District 321 Website
The District’s website is a comprehensive source of information about district programs, schools, curriculum, policies, events, and operations. It was designed to meet the needs of parents, students, and the community. The site is created using web best practices. The performance of this site is monitored by using analytics to ensure the site meets key indicators and the goals of the IVC School District Strategic Plan.
Emergency Communication and Management
The IVC School District provides direction to employees to resolve crisis situations and/or emergencies, including the use of communication vehicles like student/faculty handbooks, parent letters, social media, talking points and key messages. We also provide emergency communication when schools are locked down or have experienced a safety incident. Parent communication regarding emergency communication, including school closings and delays, will be shared via email, Facebook, X (Twitter), IVC District Website, and ParentSquare.
321 Connection
The IVC School District publishes and distributes a quarterly newspaper to its residents. The 321 Connection provides updates, news, and information from all the IVC School District Schools.
IVC School Board Meeting Documents
School Board Agendas, Minutes, and Meetings-in-Review
