ParentSquare is here!
What is it? - A new communication platform the district it switching to as of Dec 15th. This is the platform we’ll use to send you emails, texts, phone calls (and there’s an app!).
What to know - Currently we message you through “Jeffco Messenger,” but Messenger is going away Dec 15th. We’ll begin using ParentSquare (in addition to Messenger to practice with you over the next six weeks). If you do nothing, you’ll continue to receive emails, texts and phone calls. If you want the convenience of using ParentSquare and/or the app, activate your account today!
How is it different form how I receive messages from the school now? - The only difference is added convenience. Your children are already in ParentSquare, using the contact information you input into Infinite Campus (so make sure that is correct.) The optional action item here it to “activate your ParentSquare account.”
Some fun features in ParentSquare include:
- Set your language preferences
- Choose how and when you’d like to receive messages
- Access the school calendar on your phone
- Use the app on your phone, and easily toggle between Jeffco schools if needed
- The option to message your teachers is not yet turned on in ParentSquare at Compass. This is only for whole school communication right now, but stay tuned!
