Emergencies
Snohomish School District has procedures in place to deal with emergencies that may arise at school. We have close relationships with local emergency management, police, fire and health agencies who keep us informed and work with us in event of a disaster or other emergency situation. Staff and students regularly participate in fire, earthquake, evacuation and lockdown drills, so everyone is prepared to respond quickly if necessary.

For more information about the district's emergency preparedness, contact the Communications office at 360-563-7263.

ParentSquare
ParentSquare is an easy-to-use communication tool that combines multiple communication streams into one convenient interface for families and staff. In 2024-2025, the Snohomish School District will transition from our current notification system, School Messenger, to a much more robust communication platform, ParentSquare. All families will receive an invitation by the district to engage with ParentSquare. From there, they'll be able to set their preferred communication mode, interact with teachers and staff, and have a one-stop shop for all district and school communication. 

Once fully implemented, ParentSquare features include:

• Mass notifications and urgent alerts with two-way communication
• District, school, teacher, and classroom communication
• Consolidated, news-feed-style contacts from multiple sources when and how they’re wanted
• Mobile application for staff and parents/guardians (iOS and Android)
• Attendance notifications
• Direct messaging with two-way translation
• Social media and website share 
• Appointment sign-ups
• Calendar and RSVP
• Volunteering and classroom supply sign-ups
• And much more!

ParentSquare, Skyward/Family Access and Canvas
Skyward/Family Access and Canvas will continue as the primary tools for information about classroom instruction such as grades, assignments, and instructional resources. Beginning in 2024-2025, ParentSquare will now be the direct way we communicate non-instructional information from the classroom, school, and district.
