What can I do with ParentSquare?
Posts
Posts are an excellent way for teachers, schools, and the district to share news and information, including school newsletters or reminders about upcoming events. Unless you change your notification settings, posts are usually compiled into one email sent each evening. You can comment on posts, but parents can’t view other parents’ comments.
Alerts and Notifications
Alerts and notifications are essential information the school wants to notify you about quickly. Examples include bus delays, weather alerts, and more. Alerts and notifications may arrive as emails, text messages, and/or voicemails. You can’t reply directly to alerts and notifications.
Secure Document Delivery
ParentSquare ensures secure delivery of documents such as report cards and other important files. This feature provides an additional layer of security, ensuring that sensitive information is shared safely and only with authorized recipients.
Multilingual Support
The platform offers translation services, ensuring that non-English-speaking parents receive messages in their preferred language.
