Caroline Mobile App

Caroline has a free mobile app to help families and community members keep up with school delay and closing alerts, the school calendar, menus, news and more. Search Caroline Schools, MD in the App Store or on Google Play.

The app also has a feature called Rooms. Once a parent/guardian uses their specific information to login to Rooms, direct messaging with your child's teachers is enabled.

For help with the Caroline app, please email communciations@ccpsstaff.org.

Notifications from the school or district

Communication from the district or the school is based on contact information provided by the family in PowerSchool. Please make sure your information is verified and updated each year in order to receive alerts, emails, and phone calls regarding inclement weather, events, calendar reminders and more.

For CCPS Families:

In an effort to provide increased access to information about school and community programs and events, Caroline County Public Schools partners with Peachjar which enables us to send important school and approved community flyers to parents digitally, saving our schools time, money, and paper.

School-approved digital flyers are sent to your email inbox where you can easily click to sign up for events and programs. You can also view all approved flyers by clicking the Peachjar button located on your school’s website or as listed below.

No action is required to begin receiving this communication from your school. Peachjar will use the first email address you have on file with your child’s school. You’ll receive a welcome email from Peachjar that includes a username and password. You don’t need to log in to receive or view school flyers, but you can log in to adjust your delivery preferences.

If you have not received a welcome email from Peachjar to the first email account registered with the school, please check your spam/trash folder. If it is not there, please contact Sandi Barry, barry.sandra@ccpsstaff.org.

If you would like to register a second email address with Peachjar, please visit their website.

To access flyers specific to a school, please visit the school's Peachjar page:

For Community Organizations:  Flyer Distribution

CCPS Policy: Distribution of Materials in Schools and On School Property

As specified in the above policy, community organizations that are not part of a joint program with CCPS or are not a direct extension of the educational program may distribute materials through the approved CCPS online distribution program (currently Peachjar).  All materials are subject to approval by CCPS personnel.

Peachjar charges a fee for this service, which is typically much less than the cost to copy and deliver paper flyers. There are many additional benefits to using Peachjar—clickable buttons that take parents directly to your website, flyer performance reports, and not to mention the time saved driving school to school.

To submit your flyer for district approval, follow the steps below.

1. Register your account as a Community Organization on Peachjar.com

2. Review Peachjar’s Guide for Community Organizations for information about discount pricing, flyer creation tips, and more

3. Go to ‘Post & Notify’ in your account to submit a flyer

After you hit submit, your flyer will be automatically submitted to the district for approval. Once approved, your flyer will be emailed to parents and posted on each school’s web flyerboard for your selected duration of time. For more information on the process or pricing, please email support@peachjar.com or call 858-997-2117.
