What is ParentSquare?
ParentSquare is an easy-to-use communication tool that combines multiple communication streams into one easy-to-use interface for families and staff. This unified communications platform is designed to keep Kings Park families informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with our school district.
Why ParentSquare?
ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, parents, and guardians to:
Receive messages from the school via email, text or mobile app notification
Two-way texting with translation between staff and families
Choose to receive information as it comes, or once daily
Communicate in your preferred language
Direct message teachers and staff and participate in group messages through a secure and private interface
and much more...all in one centralized place!
How does ParentSquare work?
ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using the primary email address and phone number you gave your school office. If you do not remember the email address you used, please contact your school office and they can provide it. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
How is my communication managed?
You can receive communication from the district, school and classroom by email, text, app or the ParentSquare website. To reduce the amount of messaging that you get each day, we have set the ParentSquare default to digest, which will collect all of the communication from the district, school and classroom for all of your students into one message a day. We have also turned on text as a feature for all parents. You can change your notification preferences including your preferred language of communication on your ParentSquare account page.
