ParentSquare information for community members

ParentSquare is a way to receive email news from the district and its schools.

The district began utilizing ParentSquare in the 2023-24 school year for emergency notifications, such as school closings/delays and emergency situations in schools and has since expanded its use to include school and district-level messages.
