ParentSquare information

To log in, click the invite in your email/text or go to www.parentsquare.com. Use the email or phone number (cell) that we have on file for PowerSchool.

For the email blast that went out in June, click here. (Intro flyer and instructions)

We will now be using ParentSquare for district and school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. As far as text notifications for emergency alerts, nothing will change other than the phone number it's coming from. This will still be used for snow days, cancellations, and emergencies. 

We will send email invites to the app/site July 14 or 15. We will send a test "emergency" alert July 19.

The most important thing to do is to make sure that your cell and email information is up-to-date in PowerSchool. 

If you haven't received text or email notification to your preferred phone or email address click here to fill out this form or call the school buildings.


Webinars are scheduled to help get you acquainted. RSVP here.
