District to roll out ParentSquare, continues website content migration

District administrators told the committee the district web redesign remains live alongside an older site while content migration concludes, and that a new ParentSquare integration will centralize communications with families.

Julie said ParentSquare will populate nightly with PowerSchool data to show student schedules, attendance and classroom information. "It should be 1 stop shopping with ParentSquare communication," she said, and described staged teacher activation to avoid confusing families on opening day. ParentSquare will allow instant messages or digest settings so families can choose how they receive updates, and administrators plan parent training in August and follow-up in September.

The committee asked that supply lists and early-year reminders be shared promptly to help families plan. Julie said assistant principals are preparing the first ParentSquare communications, including supply lists and class reminders, and that she will coordinate teacher training dates.
