Parent Communication & Resources

Redding Public Schools will continue to use ParentSquare as our primary platform for school and district communications during the 2026–2027 school year.

You will receive important messages from school and district officials via posts, emails, and texts even if you have not downloaded the ParentSquare app. However, we encourage you to download and use the free ParentSquare app, as it offers many additional features to help streamline communication and keep you more connected to your child’s school experience.

For instance, through the app, parents and guardians may have access to enhanced functionality such as completing online permission slips, making payments (when applicable), and texting your child’s teachers. 

We appreciate your continued partnership and look forward to another successful school year. If you need assistance with ParentSquare or have any questions, contact the main office.

PowerSchool is so many things to schools today.  It houses all student records, including state standardized test scores, attendance, and historical grades.  Teachers also use PowerSchool regularly to communicate student performance, with many grades posted that include comments that inform and direct students to retry, change focus, or continue on their path.  If you have any concerns about how your child is progressing, a great first stop is the PowerSchool Parent Portal.  This platform allows you to stay informed about your child's progress.  

Contact Lori Clement at lclement@er9.org if you have any PowerSchool questions.

You will receive a weekly JRMS Family Newsletter.  We fill each newsletter with "classroom peeks" (a quick glimpse inside several classes from each grade and FPAs) "JRMS Happenings" (things going on outside of classrooms, like extracurricular clubs, or PTO updates), upcoming events, and other sections that capture the past week and preview those upcoming weeks.
