Families please consider joining Parent Square. It is a great tool for family to teacher and school communication.

The new school year is approaching, and now is a great time to get connected through ParentSquare! 📱

ParentSquare is our primary communication platform. All families will receive messages through email or text based on their contact information in Infinite Campus.

The free ParentSquare app makes communication even easier and more organized. You can:
➡️ Receive school and classroom updates
➡️ RSVP to events
➡️ Sign forms and permission slips
➡️ Connect directly with teachers
➡️ Access important information all year long

Downloading the app is not required, but it’s the best way to stay fully connected. We encourage all families to download it before the new school year begins!
