Notification Setting Options

In ParentSquare, families, staff, and students in all grades have three options for how often they receive notifications from the platform:

• Instant: Receive all messages instantly

• Digest: Receive all messages together in one daily communication around 6 PM.

• Off: No notifications are sent.

Regardless of your notification settings, you will continue to receive emergency notifications instantly. These notifications can be sent in the following ways: 

1) A “Post” that is set to send immediately;

2) A Smart Alert 

3) An Urgent Alert. 

In addition, Direct Messages can still be received.

If you feel you are receiving too many messages from ParentSquare, login to your account and visit “Notification Settings,” then select “Digest.” This way you will receive all notifications nightly at 6:00 PM with the exceptions of “School Alerts,” or “Smart Alerts” which are for important information. The most severe emergency alerts are called “Urgent Alerts,” which cannot be disabled; you will receive Urgent Alerts regardless of your settings as these are intended to be used sparingly such as when school is closed due to a snow storm.
