We are thrilled to announce that we will transition away from SchoolMessenger to ParentSquare for our communications platform. This new district-approved system will enhance and streamline how we engage with families and staff. ParentSquare will help reduce information overload and improve clarity at all three levels (District, Schools, and Classrooms) while promoting inclusivity and strengthening trust within the community.
Here’s some of what makes ParentSquare so great:
- Receive messages from District/School via email, text, or app notification
- Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest in the evening
- Communicate in your preferred language
- See pictures and files
- See calendar events
This will be a gradual transition to the new platform, and not all features will be immediately available. Here is more information about the feature rollout. The first big date is July 17, starting then all district-wide and school-wide mass communications will be sent from ParentSquare.
As we approach the mid-July launch and the start of the school year, we’ll provide information on registering your account. For families, even if you don’t register, you will still receive text, email, and phone notifications.
All newsletters will also be sent through ParentSquare. We will share more information later on how the community (people without children currently in D64) can sign up to still receive this newsletter. Eventually, FAQs, training sessions, presentations, and other resources will be posted to our ParentSquare help page on our website.
