📱 For Parents & Guardians: Stay Connected
No more digging through buried emails, missed text messages, or crumpled paper flyers at the bottom of backpacks. ParentSquare brings everything into one secure place.
Key Features for Families
One Central Hub: Access school announcements, district alerts, classroom updates, and report cards in a single feed.
Two-Way Translation: Receive and send messages in your preferred language. ParentSquare instantly translates communications into over 190 languages!
Flexible Notifications: Choose how and when you want to be notified. Select Instant to get updates immediately, or Digest to receive a single, organized summary email at the end of the day. (Note: Emergency alerts will always bypass this and arrive instantly).
Safe Family Messaging: Need to send a quick, safe update to your student during the school day (like a change in pickup plans)? You can message them securely through the platform directly to their school-issued device without relying on personal cell phones.
🚀 How to Get Started as a Parent
Download the App: Search for "ParentSquare" in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Sign Up: Use the email address or cell phone number that is currently on file in your SIS Family Access account.
Verify Your Info: Once logged in, confirm your contact information and link your children to your account. Don't want to use the app? You can always log in on a desktop at parentsquare.com.
👩🏫 For Teachers & Staff: Streamline Classroom Engagement
ParentSquare replaces disconnected tools (like Remind, Bloomz, or paper forms) with a single platform integrated directly with our school database.
Key Features for Educators
Easy Newsletters & Posts: Create beautiful, media-rich announcements or weekly newsletters using simple drag-and-drop design blocks.
Smart Forms & Sign-Ups: Stop chasing down paper permission slips. Use native ParentSquare forms to coordinate field trips, sign up parent volunteers, or request classroom items.
Direct Messaging & Virtual Phone: Message a parent privately or use the Virtual Phone feature to call a family without revealing your personal cell phone number. Every communication is automatically logged for accountability.
Custom Groups: Easily build static or dynamic groups for sports teams, after-school clubs, or tutoring sessions to communicate with specific sets of parents.
💡 Pro-Tip for Staff Members Who Are Also Parents
If you have a staff account (using your school email) and a parent account (using your personal email), you can merge them! Click your name in the top right corner of the website, select My Account, and click Combine with another account. This lets you flip seamlessly between your teacher and parent dashboards with one click.
