ParentSquare
Stephenville ISD now uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, sending messages using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to register their accounts so they can update their preferences on when and how they are notified and engage in two-way communication in ParentSquare. Although it is encouraged to download the app, it is not required to reap the benefits of ParentSquare.
Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:
- Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification.
- Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest around 6:00 PM.
- Communicate in your preferred language.
- Direct message teachers and staff.
- Participate in group messages.
- And so much more!
ParentSquare FAQ
-
ParentSquare is a unified communication platform that offers a host of tools allowing district, school administrators and teachers to more effectively communicate and engage with families and students.
-
On the app, enter your email or cell phone number that matches what is in the district's Skyward database.
On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under the ‘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 other posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (The Digest setting is recommended.) 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.
