ORCSD uses ParentSquare for its mass communications platform. Users can choose among 100+ languages and are able to personalize their notifications settings.

With ParentSquare, you can choose the channel (email, text messages, and app notifications) and frequency that works best for your family: 

• the instant notification option sends messages in real-time
• the digest sends one daily digest message around 6 p.m.  

To choose your ParentSquare notification settings, you may follow the instructions available here.

Urgent notifications

• Please note urgent notifications, such as emergencies and inclement weather notices, will override digest settings.
• Text messages are also only available for cell phone numbers and cannot be sent to landlines. To receive text messages, your primary phone number in PowerSchool must be a cell phone number.
