1. In today's ed-tech world, schools need a better communication system than relying on hard-to-track emails, lost flyers, missed robocalls, website updates that are never read, or piggybacking on SIS or LMS tools meant for student communication.
2. Understanding the need for a whole-school adoption, we strive to keep an easy to use interface for ParentSquare, much like the social tools you are used to in today's online digital world.
3. The two-way group messaging, private conversations, district-wide alerts and notices, and simple user interface keeps everyone connected, creating a vibrant school community.
4. It reverses the trend for disparate, one-way communication that keeps parents as 'spectators' to their child's education.
5. ParentSquare is a safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication.
6. ParentSquare brings the power of ed-tech revolution to the parents.
7. ParentSquare caters to every parent, including those who rarely use technology.
8. With ParentSquare for Android, parents can easily connect with teachers and staff at their children’s school from their Android device.
1. Note: I did find a workaround by enabling individual text and email notifications for the school.Easy to use and extremely convenient to have all notices in one place for multiple children instead of my email which has everything else.
2. Only feature that could be helpful is a filter so you don't have to scroll through everything to find the entry you want.Clicking on notifications doesn't take you to the new message/post.
3. Sometimes people write to you and you aren't notified.Clunky, hard to navigate, hard to find old messages, to actually take surveys, etc, I have to go to the website instead of the app, contacting anyone through the app is difficult except as a reply to a message but the teachers say to do it that way, oh and then they don't see the messages.
4. I want to like this app but two main features that I use a lot stop me: when you get the messages in email form you get every single message in that thread so it's super long.
5. I've missed messages and announcements from the school due to no longer getting notifications.
6. It will be great if it can do a good job of organizing the huge amount of changing information from different groups at school.Can't sign in, says wrong password... Which I just set.
7. I can't believe the school wants me to use this absolute nightmare.The recent update to this app, combined with the recent OS update on my phone, have affected how this app works.
8. It doesn't seem the school uses it much yet for other tasks like tracking grades, keeping up with schedule, etc.
9. Works fine so far with basic job of sharing messages from school.
10. It is also super easy to communicate with teachers and school staff and not wait a long time for replies.
11. I think it's a bug but they haven't fixed it in months.I have multiple kids it's hard to sift through and find messages.
