Most districts hear from parents when something goes wrong. But what about the families who never write in?

We partnered with Hanover Research to survey 1,000+ K–12 parents, and on October 21, we’re revealing what they told us for the first time.

Where does communication rank when families choose a school? Is the problem really how much schools send, or something else? And do parents see their child’s attendance the same way schools do?

Come hear what 1,000+ parents had to say and what the findings could mean for your district.

📅 October 21 | 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET

Two districts. 100% Contactability. Two #1 spots.

While at the New Jersey School Public Relations Association conference, we got to celebrate two ParentSquare customers doing some incredible work to reach their school communities:
👏 Kristin Nunes and Township of Union Public Schools
👏 Tracy Leigh and Pascack Valley Regional High School District

Both districts have reached 100% Contactability and rank #1 in their respective client cohorts on the ParentSquare Contactability Benchmark.

That’s worth putting a ☝️ up for. Congratulations, Kristin, Tracy, and teams!

A student misses school. Instead of starting with another attendance notice, Stafford Municipal School District starts with a conversation: “What’s going on?”

The answer might be transportation, housing, clean clothes, or a family going through a major life change.

By reaching out early, Stafford can better understand what’s behind an absence and what kind of support a family may need. That approach changed how the district connects with families.

With ParentSquare, Stafford can reach out earlier, have two-way conversations across languages, and connect with students directly.

Today, Stafford has 99.3% districtwide Contactability™ across its five campuses.

Because sometimes improving attendance starts with something simple: listening.

A few September stops, and a lot of great people along the way.

Last month, our team connected with K-12 leaders at events across the country, from the Texas Public Charter Schools Association Conference and ALET Fall Symposium to DALI LeadHERShip, NCTIES Road Show, NC Ed Symposium, NYSCOSS, and KDPP.

Along the way, we watched Ashley Sanders of Pike County Schools - Alabama take the stage at ALET for Mission Control: Parent Communication, caught up with Laquita Outlaw, Assistant Superintendent at Bay Shore UFSD, at NYSCOSS, and welcomed Thomas C. Murray for a book signing at our booth.

From sessions and booth conversations to customer catch-ups, September gave us plenty of opportunities to connect and hear what’s top of mind for schools and districts.

Here’s a look back at the incredible connections made.👇
