About this app

What is GGUSD?
-------------------------

The Garden Grove USD app is a safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication. The two-way group messaging, private conversations, district-wide alerts and notices, and simple user interface keeps everyone connected, creating a vibrant school community.

In today's ed-tech world, schools need a better communication system than relying on hard-to-track emails, lost flyers, missed robocalls, website updates that are never read, or piggybacking on SIS or LMS tools meant for student communication. GGUSD brings the power of ed-tech revolution to the parents. It reverses the trend for disparate, one-way communication that keeps parents as 'spectators' to their child's education.

Understanding the need for a whole-school adoption, we strive to keep an easy to use interface, much like the social tools you are used to in today's online digital world. GGUSD caters to every parent, including those who rarely use technology.

Ratings and reviews

This app has been so helpful, especially for the time when schools are closed. It helps getting connected to the school and staff. It provides information about resources and updates during the uncertain time . Thanks a lot GGUSD!!!

Seems to work like I would imagine it was developed to. No crashes, Phone still works, can't complain. Over all. Well done app.

Just what I needed! Another school app to clutter my phone with files and drain my battery. Dojo was just fine, oh wait, I've gotta use that app for my other child though. Did I mention they go to the same school? Enough with the apps already!
