Water Valley School District is currently in the process of changing communication platforms between parents and district employees to SCHOOL STATUS CONNECT. We are no longer using Parent Square as a means of communication. We are in the process of syncing all the data with School Status Connect, so please email your child's teacher or administrator if you aren't properly set up with School Status Connect. Thank you for your patience.
