Providing child-centered learning so every student may pursue any dream

ParentSquare (Communication)

ParentSquare

 

Fort Payne City Schools uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text, and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically syncs with our Student Information System to generate an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to register their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home.

The ParentSquare logo features a colorful graphic and text.
