Hello Team Duval families,
We heard your feedback!
You said you wanted a seamless, streamlined communication experience. Everything in one place. We are excited to present the NEW Duval Schools app!
About the Duval Schools App
Through this easy-to-navigate app, you can:
• Receive a feed of regular district and school-level updates.
• Access the Parent Portal to see your child’s academic information.
• Communicate with teachers through a new two-way communication tool called Rooms!
This means that you will no longer need multiple tools to keep up with your students’ teachers. District updates, classroom updates, and parent-teacher communication will all exist within one tool. You will continue to receive phone calls, text messages, emails, and/or voice calls from the district and your students’ principals to ensure that no matter what type of communication you prefer, your needs are met.
About Rooms
Rooms is a two-way parent-teacher communication tool that is available in the new app. It will bring all classroom conversations into one place and will take the place of any other communication tool previously used by Duval County Public Schools. It also enables teachers to share classroom announcements and updates in a way that’s much simpler for families. Here are just a few Rooms features we think you’re going to love:
• Two-way messaging with parents, guardians, students, and staff in a monitored, secure space
• Teachers can share classroom announcements, activities, and send reminders about coursework to families
• Teachers can upload and store classroom materials
• Teachers can record student behavior and academic progress
• Automatic translation in your preferred language
How Do I Get Started?

1. Delete the old Duval Schools app on your phone if you had one.
2. Download the new Duval Schools app.
3. Visit www.duvalschools.org/app for easy-to-use tutorials on how to navigate Rooms and the new app.
We look forward to a great school year!
