Caddo Parish Public Schools has introduced a new communication app designed to improve parent-teacher engagement. The JCampus Student app enables instant messaging, grade checks, schedule viewing, and more. It aims to address communication challenges and improve attendance while also unveiling a new logo and tagline. Superintendent Keith Burton emphasizes collaboration for a smooth school year.
Shreveport, Louisiana – Caddo Parish Public Schools has launched a new communication app aimed at enhancing engagement between parents, guardians, and teachers as the new school year commences. The app, which can be downloaded from the district’s website or accessed through QR codes found at schools, is part of a broader initiative to address challenges related to communication, attendance, and family involvement in education.
The JCampus Student app offers several features to facilitate instant communication. Parents and guardians can send direct text messages to their child’s teachers and receive read receipts to confirm message delivery, enhancing responsiveness between educators and families. However, this specific feature will only be accessible to high school students, while all parents and guardians within the district will be able to utilize it.
In addition to communication tools, the app boasts functionalities that allow users to check students’ grades, view schedules, monitor transportation routes, access meal plans, and see live attendance records. This move is intended to replace outdated communication methods dependent on phone numbers and addresses, which are often subject to change within families, thereby providing a more reliable and efficient channel for school-related information.
The introduction of this app comes amid ongoing concerns regarding student attendance across the state. Caddo Parish Schools aims to tackle these challenges head-on, signaling a commitment to improving attendance rates. As part of this effort, the district is also restructuring two schools, J.S. Clark Academy and Broadmoor STEM Academy, to transition into K–8 campuses over the next three years.
Superintendent Keith Burton has assured that he has collaborated with bus drivers, teachers, and principals to ensure a smooth start to the school year, reinforcing the district’s commitment to streamlined operations and better services for families.
In conjunction with the app launch, Caddo Parish Schools has also introduced a new logo and tagline: “Excellence. Every One. Every Day.” This branding initiative aims to represent the district’s dedication to setting high expectations and providing continuous support for its students. The new logo features a red figure reaching upward, symbolizing effort and aspiration. The color palette of red and blue is intended to reflect strength and optimism in the school community.
By moving away from the previous slogan, “We Are Caddo,” the district leadership emphasizes a renewed focus on excellence and community engagement. Acknowledging that achieving excellence is a collaborative effort, district leaders stress the importance of cooperation among staff, families, and the wider community.
This proactive approach from Caddo Parish Schools marks a significant step towards fostering a more engaged and informed parent and guardian body. The combination of modern communication solutions and a revamped branding strategy is expected to create a more connected educational environment, thereby benefiting students and their families throughout the district.
