Del Valle ISD and each campus use multiple communication strategies to communicate both internally with staff and externally with parents and the community. The tools for communication are outlined below.
We are excited to announce that we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication at Del Valle ISD called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with DVISD campuses and the district. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
All district and school, grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. The phone numbers and e-mails we use to notify parents come from parent/guardian data that is collected from the District’s Skyward Family Access program. Contact data is collected at the start of each school year via student enrollment and re-enrollment. In order to receive important messages from the District it is imperative that contact information is updated as it is changed. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).
Have questions? Click the question mark in the top right corner of the desktop version or the Help tab on the app (tap the triple bar icon at the top left) to find answers to most of your questions.

Any decisions to delay or cancel classes are made using information from the National Weather Service and local emergency management officials. A team of District leaders evaluates all available weather information to make a determination about cancellation or delays. The District makes every effort to determine a cancellation or delay the night before, if possible, however weather is unpredictable, and there may be circumstances where a decision is not made until the early morning hours.
Anytime there are changes to the regular schedule, the District will communicate with all families and staff via the following:
