ParentSquare was rolled out in OUSD during Spring 2021 as part of our COVID-19 safety response. Since then, it has become our unified communication platform connecting our families with our schools and the district. ParentSquare keeps our families updated with timely information via Posts, Direct Messages and Alerts by sending notifications via email or text message. It automatically translates into a user’s preferred language and allows parents to submit district forms, permission slips and text their students’ teachers directly.
