Scottsboro City School System uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text, and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access 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 between school and home.

Parent Square is a unified communication platform that offers a whole host of tools that allow district, and school administrators and teachers to more effectively communicate and engage with families and students. 

Some features include:

• Mass notifications and urgent alerts with two-way communication 
• Mobile application for administrators and parents (iOS and Android) 
• Attendance notifications
• Teacher and classroom communication
• Direct Messaging with two-way translation 
• Appointment Sign-ups (Parent-teacher conferences, technology pick-ups, etc.) 
• Calendar and RSVP
• Volunteering and classroom supply sign-ups
• And so much more!
