frequently asked questions

How do I register for ParentSquare?

On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. The email and/or cell phone number should match what is in the school's information system eSchool.

On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under ‘Register’ section, put your email or phone number and click '“Go”.

If the email or phone number is not recognized by ParentSquare, parents can follow directions to request access or call the school office and ask them to update the contact information.

How do I manage my notification settings?

ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school. The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.) Learn more about managing notifications.

How do I change my language settings?

Parents can update their language preference for their account. Once they have done this, ParentSquare will automatically translate any communication to them in their selected language. This translation will also occur when the parent sends a message to a staff member. Learn more about ParentSquare translations and how to set the language preference.

Will parents receive notifications from Parent Square if they do not sign up for ParentSquare?

Yes. All parents have a ParentSquare account. ParentSquare is the primary tool for district and school communication. Individuals who do not activate their account in ParentSquare will still receive email and text notifications with school communication. In the event of emergencies, phone calls will be sent as well. We encourage everyone to activate their account to be able to access permission forms, photos, and direct messages.

I don’t have a student at your school or my child no longer attends your school. Can you take me off your list?

Click “Unsubscribe” link on your email from ParentSquare or reply STOP to the SMS from ParentSquare to stop notifications to your email or phone.

**** If the email or phone number is not recognized by ParentSquare, parents can call the school office and ask them to update the contact information.
