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 the 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.
