ParentSquare for District Communication
Clover Park School District has launched ParentSquare for communication with CPSD families in an easy-to-use format. This fall, schools began using ParentSquare to send phone, email and text notifications to families using the contact information in Skyward Family Access. By February, schools will launch two-way communication with families through direct messaging.
Learn More About ParentSquare
ParentSquare allows families to communicate with their school in one simple platform. CPSD is launching the platform in two stages: 1) one-way communication this fall and 2) two-way direct messaging this winter.
ParentSquare capabilities include:
- Receiving messages from school via email, phone, text or app notification
- Choosing to receive information as it is sent from the school or all at once with a daily digest at 6 p.m.
- Selecting language preferences to communicate in your preferred language
- RSVPing for school events or signing up to volunteer
Once direct messaging is launched this winter, you will be able to participate in confidential messaging with your child’s teacher(s) or in group messaging.
