Student Technology Resources - StudentSquare Resources

New Trier students will now use StudentSquare for New Trier athletics and extracurricular communications. New Trier was using Remind for a very long time, but there are important features, including the SMS capability, that are no longer available. The good news is that StudentSquare is similar to Remind, so you're in good hands!

How do I get started with StudentSquare?

Download the StudentSquare app on your iPad. You can find the app in Self-Service, or it may already be found on your iPad's Home Screen. You can also log into StudentSquare on a browser by going to mystudentsquare.com/signin.
Next, and this is IMPORTANT, students will log in using the Microsoft Button. You will use the usual NTHS student email address (e.g. 20289999@student.nths.net) and NTHS password.

StudentSquare FAQ's

What sort of information will New Trier send through StudentSquare?

New Trier regularly sends information about adjusted schedule days, events, Post-High School counseling newsletters and events, athletic registration, transportation, and much more. Teachers, advisers, club sponsors, and coaches also may need to reach out from time to time about field trips, contests, or updates.

Individual teachers may still use other methods such as email or Canvas announcements/messages to communicate with students.
