ParentSquare
Mount Pleasant CSD uses ParentSquare to communicate with families and the Mount Pleasant community via email, text message and phone alerts. All Mount Pleasant parents/guardians will receive posts from the District and their children's school(s) via email. Families can also access additional features by registering their accounts and downloading the free ParentSquare app.
ParentSquare will replace SchoolMessenger as the primary means of District and school based communication. In addition to bringing greater consistency in our communications, ParentSquare includes a number of features which we believe will be of particular benefit to our families, including:
-
Creating more robust and engaging communications
-
Providing flexibility for how messages are received with a free mobile app and customizable message delivery features
-
Having more accurate and frequently updated contact information
Resources
Please note, these resources are only available to users who sign up for a ParentSquare account. Those not signed up will still receive notifications.
Important Information for Families
- By default, users will receive all emails/posts from the District and School as part of a daily digest at 6pm each day. Users can change this setting by logging in to ParentSquare, clicking their name to visit their account and then clicking “Notification Settings.” Please note that the District has the ability to override your notification settings when sending time sensitive information, such as in an emergency or if there is a snow day, etc.
- If you are not receiving all ParentSquare email notifications, follow these steps: 1. Check that the email address on your account page is accurate and updated 2. Add donotreply*@parentsquare.com, emails.parentsquare.com, and email.parentsquare.com to your safe sender or contacts list 3. Marking ParentSquare emails as Not Spam 4. Ensure there are no filters diverting ParentSquare emails to other folders.
- To resubscribe, users can text "START" to 66458.
-
If families have a question about an email/post that they receive, simply responding to the notification in your email will not reach the sender. Please email your principal directly if you have a question about the communication you received.
-
Once logged in to ParentSquare via the web or the app, users will be able to see previous posts as part of a feed. Within the feed, you will see posts that pertain to you/your child, including the District and your respective schools.
-
Please note that our initial use of ParentSquare will focus on communications from the District and your School/Principal only. For the time being, communication with your child's teachers will continue as it currently does.
