ParentSquare Information for Families

 
What is ParentSquare? 
ESM uses ParentSquare as our communication platform with families in the district. All schools in ESM utilize ParentSquare to communicate with families on an ongoing basis through Posts, Messages, and Alerts. Families can access ParentSquare through the ParentSquare website as well as the ParentSquare app that can be downloaded on mobile devices.
 
What are some ParentSquare Features for Families?

Once families register for ParentSquare, they will see their child(ren)'s schools and classes. Families can view posts from the ESM Central School District as well as their child(ren)'s school(s) and classes. Families can also directly message their child(ren)'s teachers. Family members can go into their account settings and set up how they would like to receive notifications (email, text, and/or the app) as well as choose their preferred language for receiving post notifications.

 
Why Should You Join/Accept the Invitation? 
If you haven't accepted our prior ParentSquare invitations you can use the steps below. You will receive notifications even if you do not accept the invitation, but you cannot use many ParentSquare functions including the ability to ask questions, fill out forms, RSVP to events or participate in sign-ups. Here’s how to join: 
  • Visit www.parentsquare.com/signin
  • Under “Sign Up/Create Password” enter the email or cell phone number ESM has on file.
  • If the email/phone matches our information, you will receive an account activation email/text to complete the sign-up.
Are You Getting too Many Messages?
Customize your notification settings by going to your homepage > select your name > My Account and then find your notification settings at the top right and click "Change This." Select “Digest” for fewer notifications and receive one condensed message in the evening unless it is an emergency message.
