1. We believe each student is unique.

2.  We believe an ​​involved community positively impacts our students.

Teachers of record have access to post to each of your classes and to individual students.

Principals, Assistant Principals, Counselors and Librarians have access to post to the entire campus, grade levels, individual classrooms, and individual students. 

If you think you should have additional posting access, talk to your campus principal or supervisor.

Review the Staff Training slide deck to find out what you should post based on your role - classroom level access vs. campus-wide access. It is best practice to consistently post weekly on the same day and time each week. Here are guidelines on what teachers, the campus, and the district should post.

Skylert has been replaced by Parent Square. Parent Square messages are for mass communication at the campus level. As we continue to onboard families to Family Feed, campuses can use Parent Square to help get the word out. Keep in mind, Family Feed posts tagged as Important Messages will email families, as well as send push notifications in the mobile app.

Mesquite ISD uses Parent Square, a notification system, to deliver emergency notifications to families as quickly as possible. With this system, MISD can send thousands of alerts by phone, email, and text in a matter of minutes.
