ParentSquare and StudentSquare
What are ParentSquare and StudentSquare?
ParentSquare (for families) and StudentSquare (for middle and high school students) is an easy-to-use communication tool that combines multiple communication streams into one interface for families, staff, and students. ParentSquare and StudentSquare are a district and school tool or non-instructional communication. Skyward/Family Access and Canvas will remain the district and school tools for instructional communication. Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare and StudentSquare this year:
- Receive information from the school via email, text, phone call, or mobile app notification
- Two-way messaging with translation between staff and families/students
- Choose to receive information as it comes, or all at once at 6 p.m. daily
- Communicate in your preferred language
Please note that not all Snohomish School District teachers/staff are using ParentSquare to message or for classroom communication this year (2024-2025) as it is optional. 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!
As a reminder, not all features noted above will be implemented for the 2024-2025 school year. As we continue to utilize the platform in the school years ahead, additional features noted above may be utilized. Questions regarding the platform can be directed to the district's Communications Department at communications@sno.wednet.edu.
