What is ParentSquare?
Florence Unified School District will be using ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:
-
Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification
-
Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6pm
-
Communicate in your preferred language
-
Comment on school postings to engage with your school community
-
Direct message to teachers, staff and other parents

Participate in group messages

Will parents receive notifications from ParentSquare if they do not sign up for ParentSquare?
Yes. All parents and/or guardians are automatically registered to receive notifications through ParentSquare when they enroll their student. ParentSquare is the primary tool for district and school communication. Individuals who do not activate their account in ParentSquare will still receive an email digest at the end of each day when communication is sent out to them. In the event of emergencies, phone calls and text messages will be sent as well.
