District and School Communication
District and School Communication
One of the keys to student success and family engagement at Simsbury Public Schools (SPS) is ongoing and regular communication. Members of the SPS community will be able to stay connected through the district’s use of ParentSquare. If you are a parent or guardian of an SPS student, please click here to activate your account.
Please be certain the email you provide in the yearly enrollment process is current. Reach out to your child’s school if you need to change your email address for any reason.
