How to Set Up Your Account
You should have received a welcome email from us inviting you to activate your account. If you didn’t receive this email, please update your contact information in the Parent Portal and contact your school front office to have them resend the invitation.
UPDATING YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION & LANGUAGE PREFERENCES
Parents are asked to change their contact information in their Parent Portal, NOT PARENTSQUARE. If you need to update your email or phone number, please navigate to the Parent Portal and login. Once logged in, select the person icon in the top right and click on "SETTINGS."
After selecting "SETTINGS" choose "CONTACT PREFERENCES" on the next screen.
From there, you can edit your phone numbers and email address. If you prefer to begin receiving messages in a language other than English, you can also do that in the Contact Preferences in the Parent Portal. Once those are updated in your Parent Portal, they will sync to ParentSquare the next day.
Please call the front office of your school during regular office hours if you need assistance.
How to Set Your Notification Preferences in ParentSquare
With ParentSquare you can set your preferences for how frequently, and where (email, text, app push notification) you receive notifications. You can choose once per day in a digest (combines all messages into one), instantly, or turn them off. Please note that due to the urgent nature of emergency alerts and notices, those will override your preferences.
