ParentSquare
What is ParentSquare?
- "ParentSquare is the premier fully unified product that engages every family with school communications and communications-based services—all the way from the district office to the classroom teacher, and all in one place."
Why did Springs Valley switch to ParentSquare?
- We believe that ParentSquare will improve communication through one, unified platform for all communication, more parent/guardian involvement, more robust engagement features, an app for mobile users, two-way language translation and other features that ParentSquare provides.
How do I use ParentSquare?
- Parents/guardians of Springs Valley students as well as staff members will receive alerts and special notices, such as cancellation and delay messages, sent to the phone numbers and email addresses Springs Valley has listed for you in our Skyward student management system even if you don't do anything with ParentSquare. If you find that you are not receiving these messages, please contact the school office at 812-936-9984.
- To take full advantage of ParentSquare, go to ParentSquare.com and login or download the ParentSquare app on your Apple or Android device. As a Springs Valley parent or guardian, you should receive an invitation to join ParentSquare to set up your Springs Valley ParentSquare account if your phone and email address are listed in Springs Valley's system. However, if you do not receive a notification, you can go to the ParentSquare website at parentsquare.com or download the app and request account access.
