RAPID NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

We are excited to let you know that we are now using ParentSquare as the rapid notification service to communicate district, school, and classroom announcements. We are making the switch from Remind because it was purchased by ParentSquare. It offers many enhanced features at a comparable cost.

In July, you will receive an email invitation to activate your ParentSquare account. Follow the instructions in the invitation and you will be able to set up your account to receive notifications by email, text message, phone call, or all.

With ParentSquare you’ll be able to:

Receive all district, school and classroom communication via email, text, or app.
View the school and classroom calendar and RSVP for events
Easily sign up to volunteer and/or bring items to classroom activities
Securely receive report cards, IEPs and other important student documents. You can use ParentSquare on any device. You can download the free mobile app for iOS or Android or use the desktop version at ParentSquare website. Our goal is for every family to join ParentSquare and engage with our school community.

Stay tuned for more information.
