Parent Connect Flyer
Overview (PTO)
In an effort to effectively and efficiently provide our families with increased access to programs and resources that improve the trajectory of our students’ lives, Grand Forks Public Schools has transitioned to electronic form delivery using Jotform and Peachjar.
These new platforms will enable us to send important school and community flyers to families digitally, replacing our current monthly Kids Connection digital newsletter.
Digital flyers are emailed to families weekly.
Parent Connect Flyer is used exclusively for the distribution of school and district-approved flyers only. through PTO.
