ParentSquare provides a simple and safe way for everyone at school to connect.

ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school.
You can choose between “instant” and “digest” notifications or choose to turn off notifications (excluding emergency alerts and notices).
The “instant” setting will send all posts notifications in real-time. The “digest” setting sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day around 6:00 p.m., reducing the number of notifications you receive daily.
- In a web browser: Login into your account at ParentSquare.com/SingIn, click your name (top right corner) and select “My Account.” Then, select “Notification Settings”. Under the "Text" column, select to receive either "Instant" or "Digest" notifications.
- In the mobile app: From your home screen, click the triple bar in the top left corner. Click on “Account,” then “Notification Settings”. Under "Text Notifications" toggle right and select either "Instant" or Digest".
If you would like to receive your messages translated in a different language you may:
- In a web browser: On your home page, click your name and select “My Account.” Then, select “Language Settings"
