Mount Vernon City Schools provides regular communications, announcements, and updates through multiple channels of written and electronic media.  

Classroom teachers notify parents and students through many similar platforms used by the district as well as Google Classroom.  While staff may choose to use different software platforms to provide information such as ClassDojo and Remind, Instant Connect will be the primary communication tool used by MVCSD.

Mount Vernon City Schools uses Instant Connect as our comprehensive alert notification system including attendance, district and building notifications, community information, and closings and delays.  We believe the reliability, flexibility, and speed of the Instant Connect system will greatly enhance our ability to communicate school news as well as school closings and delays in a more efficient and timely manner.

Community members, parents, and students can now register for an Instant Connect Communications Portal.  All MVCSD communications and alerts will come through Instant Connect.

Parents with an Instant Connect account, if you are not receiving text messages or had previously declined to receive text messages and would need assistance, contact John Frye, District Web Manager  740.397.7422 x 6038 or [email protected]
