ParentSquare

Washougal School District uses ParentSquare to support school communication, featuring email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each family member, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage families 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 families can do with ParentSquare:

• Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification
• Choose to receive information as it comes or select an all-at-once at 6pm daily digest
• Communicate in your preferred language
• Comment on school postings to engage in your school community
• Direct message teachers and school or district staff
• Sign up for conferences with smart online technology
• Sign forms, receive report cards, complete permission slips, sign up to volunteer and more all from your phone or web portal

To get started, use the button below to visit the ParentSquare site, and then Sign Up with your email or phone number! Please sure to use the phone or email the school uses to contact you.
