Account switching between staff and parent/guardian accounts
How do I account switch between accounts as I serve in multiple roles (example - staff and parent/guardian) or have ParentSquare accounts at different schools or districts?
- Account Switching became the ParentSquare standard in July 2025. Users are now able to sign in to multiple accounts and switch between them.
- If you had an account merged across roles or districts (example - parent/guardian and staff combined), ParentSquare has automatically separated them into individual accounts. Once unmerged, users will remain signed in to their highest permission account (e.g. staff) and can use the account switcher to add another account and sign into their other account(s), like a parent/guardian account.
- Note: Snohomish School District staff members with children enrolled in the district should use their personal email address for ParentSquare parent/guardian accounts. Parent/guardian ParentSquare accounts are connected to the personal email listed in your child’s Skyward Qmlativ account, not work @sno.wednet.edu email accounts.
- As a reminder, you should not merge an account with a spouse. ParentSquare is designed for each parent/guardian to have their own account. Family members can share an email or phone number and yet can and should have different accounts.
