ParentSquare

ParentSquare is a robust communications platform that combines tools such as email, text, classroom updates, sign-ups, scheduling, and updates into one easy-to-use platform.

Laveen families and staff can download the app or log in to the dashboard. From there, you will see secure messages from your child’s teacher, classroom updates, classroom photo galleries, and school event calendars. You’ll be able to sign up for conferences and volunteer opportunities. If you have multiple children in our schools, you can see all these notifications at once or toggle between children to see relevant information for each individual child.

While ParentSquare combines the tools we are currently using in SchoolMessenger, ParentVue, ClassDoJo, Remind, SeeSaw, etc. there are a few platforms that families will still use.

Behavior Management Tools (ClassDoJo/ PBIS Rewards) – If your child’s school uses a behavior management platform to track points they will continue to use that app.
Peachjar – External organizations such as youth sports and recreation programs will still advertise their programs using the Peachjar e-flyer system.
ParentVue – You’ll still use ParentVue to see your child’s grades, enrollment information, attendance, class schedules schedules, and other records data in ParentVue.
Google Classroom – Teachers who are using Google Classroom to share assignments and other curriculum materials will continue to do so.
EZSchoolPay – Our third-party vendor, EZSchoolPay, will continue to process school lunch payments and send low-balance reminders.
EZRouting – Our transportation department will continue to use this system that alerts families to bus delays.

ParentSquare is secure and is iKeepSafe certified in FERPA, COPPA, and student privacy. Additionally, ParentSquare does not conduct any targeted advertising and no student profile is built for any reason other than for school-related purposes. ParentsSquare is a Student Privacy Pledge 2020 Signatory.
