Frequently Asked Questions

 
How do I sign up for ParentSquare?

Your child(ren)'s school has your email and/or phone number in their records and they will initiate the setup process with you. They will send you an invitation email and/or text with a link to activate your ParentSquare account.  You can find examples of what the email and/or text message will look like on the ParentSquare Getting Started Page.

Visit ParentSquare online or download the mobile app from Apple or Google.

If you are both a parent and a staff member and are asked to merge accounts, please follow the prompts to combine them.

How do I add a student who is missing?

If a child or school is missing from your account, your contact information may not match what is listed in the school system, or you may have more than one ParentSquare account.

Contact your school office to verify and update your contact information.

How do I add another parent to my child’s ParentSquare account?

ParentSquare accounts are connected to the guardian information listed in the school’s student information system.

If another parent or guardian needs access, please contact your child’s school office to request an update.

How can I receive content in a different language?

ParentSquare may automatically use the language settings on your device, but you can also change your language preference.

On a web browser:

  1. Click your name in the top-right corner.
  2. Select “My Account.”
  3. Choose “Language Settings.”

Why does my ParentSquare account have my spouse’s or co-parent’s name on it?

If two people share one email address, only one person may be able to log in using that email. The other parent or guardian should use a different phone number or email address.

For emergency communication, each parent/guardian should have their own phone number or email address listed with the school.

I am getting too many messages from ParentSquare. What can I do?

You can adjust your notification settings to reduce the number of alerts you receive.

  • Instant: Receive messages as they are sent.
  • Digest: Receive messages together in one daily summary.
  • Off: Turn off general notifications.

Emergency and urgent alerts may still be sent instantly, even if your notification settings are changed.

How do I send a message to my child’s teacher? (Coming Fall 2026)
  1. On the web, click “Messages” in the sidebar and select “New Message.”
  2. On the app, tap the plus sign to start a new message.
  3. Select your child’s teacher or begin typing the recipient’s name.
  4. Send a private direct message.
How do I unsubscribe if I am not a parent?

If you are receiving messages by mistake, it may be because a phone number or email address was entered incorrectly in the school’s records.

Please contact the school so your contact information can be reviewed and removed if needed.
