How We Communicate
To keep families connected and informed, our district uses ParentSquare for all school communications, including email, text messages, and app notifications. Accounts are automatically created for each parent using the preferred email address and phone number on file in Infinite Campus, our Student Information System. ParentSquare provides a safe, secure, and convenient way for us to partner with you throughout the school year..
What is ParentSquare?
ParentSquare is a unified communication platform that offers a wide variety of tools which allow administrators and teachers to more effectively communicate and engage with families and students.
Some features include:
As a registered parent, you can:
- Receive messages from the school and district via phone, email, text, or app notification
- Communicate in your preferred language
- Choose your notification preferences
- Direct message teachers or other staff
Frequently Asked Questions

On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. It should match what is in the school's information system or database.
On the web, click Sign In, then under Register, 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.

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.
