On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. The email and/or cell phone number should match what is in the school's information system (PowerSchool) or database. 

On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under ‘Register’ section, 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.

ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school. The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.) Learn more about managing notifications.

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.

Yes. All parents have a ParentSquare account. ParentSquare is the primary tool for district and school communication. Individuals who do not activate their account in ParentSquare will still receive an email digest at the end of each day that communication is sent out to them. In the event of emergencies, phone calls will be sent as well.

If you have more than one ParentSquare account (for example, because your name, email, or phone number didn’t match), you can combine them into one.

What to do:

1. Log in to your main ParentSquare account.
2. Click your name in upper right and select Manage Account.
3. Click Combine with another account.
4. If other accounts match your verified email(s) or phone(s), click Combine Accounts.
5. If the account you want doesn’t show up, click Combine Another Account and sign in with that account.
6. Choose the name you want to use, then click Combine Accounts.

Now you’ll see all your students in one account, and you can log in using any of your email addresses or phone numbers.

You can’t combine a staff account with a parent account, but you can easily switch between them.

What to do:

1. Log in to either your staff or parent account.
2. Click your name in the top right to see your account(s).
3. Under Switch Account, click +Add another account.
4. Log in to your other account.
5. Now you can switch between accounts anytime by clicking your name and choosing the one you want.
