Dear SPS families,
I hope the summer is off to a great start for you! Ahead of the onset of back-to-school communication, I’m excited to share that we’ve adopted a new communication platform called ParentSquare to help us keep our families informed and connected throughout our school community.
With ParentSquare, you’ll receive all school and classroom messages in one place and translated into your preferred language—whether by email, text, app, or web. You’ll also be able to:
- Stay up to date on news and events
- Send and receive messages with teachers and staff
- View calendar items and photos from your school
All district, school, grade-level, classroom, and extra-curricular communications will now come through ParentSquare.
To get the most out of ParentSquare, we encourage you to download the free mobile app, available for
iOS and
Android. You can also access ParentSquare from your web browser at
www.parentsquare.com. Through either the app or the website, new users will be able to update their notification settings by following
these directions.
To activate your account:
-
Download the ParentSquare app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
-
Enter your school-registered email address* or cell phone number under "Sign Up / Create Account."
-
Check your inbox or text messages for a verification code.
-
Enter the code to establish your link to the district.
-
Create a secure password to complete your profile setup.
*The email/cell phone number you register with MUST be the email/number on file in PowerSchool in order to connect your account to your student.
If you have any questions about ParentSquare, please visit their comprehensive
Help Center.
Thank you for your continued partnership!
Sincerely,
Dave Prinstein
Director of Instructional Technology,
Simsbury Public Schools
