ParentSquare

ParentSquare is a unified communication platform that offers a whole host of tools that allows district, school administrators, and teachers to communicate more effectively and engage with families and students. Some features include:

  • Mass notifications and Urgent Alerts 
  • A mobile app (iOS and Android)
  • Teacher and classroom communication
  • Direct Messaging with two-way translation
  • Attendance notifications
  • Social (Facebook and Twitter) and website share 
  • Forms and Permission Slips
  • Appointment Sign Ups (parent-teacher conferences, etc.) 
  • Calendar and event RSVPs
  • Volunteer sign-ups
  • And so much more!

In order to have a ParentSquare account, the user must be listed as a guardian in Skyward. If you cannot log in to ParentSquare and are unsure of the information you have on file in Skyward, please contact your campus and they can help you. If updates are made in Skyward, the changes will show in ParentSquare the following day.

All contact information must be updated through Skyward and NOT directly through ParentSquare. 

For new students who enroll during the school year, once enrollment is complete in Skyward, ParentSquare will sync with Skyward overnight and create ParentSquare accounts for each person listed as a guardian for the student. The following day, the parent can go to ParentSquare.com or the ParentSquare app and register the new account using the email or phone number they have on file in Skyward. 

You can learn more about ParentSquare by watching this short overview video.
