Please see the below Quick-Start PDF on the Viking Connect App
While I know we have used different communication apps the last few years (Remind & Teamapp), Valparaiso Community Schools is moving to a district wide new communication platform called Viking Connect. You should have seen or heard about this new app when registering or through communications from VCS that have gone out. Viking Connect (powered by ParentSquare) has the capability to transmit district and building-level alerts, classroom posts, newsletters, robocalls, direct messaging, and SMS (text), while providing preferred language translation, hosting extra-curricular rosters and communication (performance arts, athletics, clubs), event signups, forms (e.g. field trips), and more. While families have already been receiving communication through this platform, the app will allow users to take full advantage of this powerful communication tool, such as customizing notification settings and preferences and setting preferred language for automatic two-way translation services. Use the email address or cellphone number that you have on file with Skyward to log in and set up your account for the first time.
