ParentSquare for Families
ParentSquare is the district’s new two-way communications platform. It is used for items such as newsletters, snow day notifications, group chats, calendars, volunteer sign-ups and more.
While it is not required, we highly suggest all guardians: 1) download the ParentSquare app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store, and 2) register your ParentSquare account with the email address that is connected to your student through the Skyward Parent Portal. Students in grades 9-12 can also download the ParentSquare app and connect with their school email address.

You have three options:
-
Instant: Receive all messages instantly
-
Digest: Receive all messages together in one daily communication around 6:00 pm*
-
Off: No notifications are sent.* You can check the app for notifications at your leisure.
*Regardless of your notification settings, you will continue to receive emergency notifications instantly. This will include weather delay/cancellation messages.
