JPS District Mobile App

Everyone who downloads the app will receive district-level notifications. If you are a school-based Jackson Public Schools employee, you can choose to receive notifications from your school. We will also have a staff option so we can share information with Jackson Public Schools employees who have downloaded the app regardless of where they are assigned.

If you want to download the app but do not want to receive notifications, you can deactivate this feature for the app in the phone settings. However, notifications will include emergency announcements when appropriate, so we recommend not turning off the notification feature.

Yes, the schools will continue to use all available channels of communication to share important information with parents. The new mobile app is just an additional way through which we can communicate the great things that are happening at the district and let parents and employees know about important updates.

All notifications are free and there will be no charges for the recipient. Notifications will go directly to the app. 

If any updates are made to the app, users will receive a notification to update the app to the latest version in the same way that is done for any other mobile app.

Notifications are not automatically translated by the app and will retain the language in which it was sent. 

The app is available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Burmese, French, and other 200 languages.

Yes, you can download the app on your phone, tablet, or any other mobile device. Because the app doesn't require unique sign-in credentials, it will not be linked to all devices. You will have to set up the app each time you download it to a new device—a quick, simple process that includes step-by-step guided instructions.

In addition to the latest news, calendars, and updates, as a parent, you can find direct access to PowerSchool, ParentSquare, VersaTrans, as well as information on district sporting events. You will also have direct access to the district's social media accounts.

The app was designed to work with iOS (Apple) and Android systems.
