Inclement Weather Alerts
Inclement Weather Alerts
If you didn’t receive a notification about our school closure today, these are the steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Log into ParentSquare and check your notification settings. If you turned off your notifications for alerts, you will not be notified about inclement weather days.
Verify your contact information is correct. If you need to change it, you must fill out this form and send it to Human Resources.
If everything appears to be in order and you did not get a notification, contact ParentSquare at support@parensquare.com.
In the event of inclement weather closures or delays, families will receive a text message and an email around 6 AM (for staff it is normally around 5 AM). If the text message fails or the primary phone number is a landline, a phone call will be made; otherwise, the notification is limited to text and email. This is a change from our previous system where the phone call was the primary notification.

If you feel very strongly that you want your student information to be separate from your CSD email, you can request to join your student’s school with your personal email, which will start the process of creating separate accounts.
