ParentSquare Reviews

I love that families can find all school communication in one place. I also appreciate the security features, because it’s reassuring to know that only the approved parents and guardians from our SIS receive the information we send.

Occasionally, some features don’t work the way we need them to, but when we reach out to support, they usually help us find a resolution.

We know we can reach all families because 100% of our families are contactable. ParentSquare has also helped us clean up the data in our SIS by giving families an easy way to update their contact information whenever it needs to be changed.

I love using ParentSquare because it allows us to customize language depending on our audience, breaking down the language barrier and making parents feel seen and appreciated. It enables us to reach parents in their home language through various formats and languages. We can send flyers and announcements, and choose the type of notifications, whether immediate or end of day summary. We sync it to PowerSchool daily, so any changes, like student/parent contact information, are updated overnight. This is especially valuable as new students are automatically added to teacher class groups, allowing direct communication to new parents. ParentSquare has become our go-to for communications, and it's the best tool we've found for reaching parents effectively.

Adding flyers or announcements that aren't in a jpeg format doesn't work as well for us. As long as it's a jpg or jpeg it's good to go. If this could be improved it would be most helpful.

ParentSquare helps us communicate with parents in multiple formats and languages, breaking down language barriers. The PowerSchool sync ensures student/parent data is updated nightly, enabling effective communication and engagement.

We love ParentSquare! We know our secretaries and administrative assistants are the hearts of every building. Patent Square saved hundreds of hours of their valuable time and thousands of dollars just digitizing our back-to-school communications.

Sometimes multiple new feature roll-outs can be confusing for families.

ParentSquare has helped us reach 100% of families, and we can do so in a matter of seconds when necessary. This has supported us in building trust.

I like that ParentSquare makes it easy to assist teachers and district leaders with posts and direct messages to parents. The read receipts and delivery reports give us assurance that pertinent information reaches every student’s home. It's convenient that parents and teachers don't have to search for or save phone numbers. I find it helpful that we can send out field trip forms and accept payments through the app, making it a one-stop shop. The initial setup was so easy!

Toggling between staff and staff-parent accounts is sometimes glitchy with no rhyme or reason. They get stuck in an endless verification loop. ParentSquare needs to find why it happens for some and not all.

ParentSquare ensures every student has someone at home receiving important information with read receipts and delivery reports. It simplifies communication by not needing to search for phone numbers and is a one-stop shop for sending field trip forms and accepting payments.

Forget everything you thought you knew about customer service! This team is relentlessly responsive, and continuously upping their game and adding in features.

Thanks to ParentSquare, our district has officially gone next-level. With one communication platform, our messaging isn't just faster and clearer, it's more consistent and impactful. Deliberate and timely.

ParentSquare is super easy to use. Adding students to a group automatically adds their guardian contact, which is great! Our integration with ProgressBook is great, and the information is acurrate. Our implementation team providied superior support, which made the transisition smooth. ParentSquare is used daily throughout the distrcit!

So far we have not run into anything inside ParentSquare we don't like. It was such a drastic change in a positive direction from our old platform, that we totally satified as it is.

ParentSquare highlighted lots of outdated contact information which has been helpful in contacting guardians. The ability to add a student to a group and have the guardian contacts automatically attach, is great. Before we were relying on parents to join using a code and often didn't get full participation.

We love the ParentSquare because it is so easy to use, great customer support, and ease of integration with our SIS. Just a great application all the way around.

Nothing, we love the platform for all our communication

The problem we had that ParentSquare solved for us was the communication between teachers and students. This could be in classes or groups. It works very well at getting the messages out their to staff, students, and parents.

We use Remind to send messages to parents in both one-way and two-way formats. We have used Remind for about 5 years, and are so pleased with its capabilities. We send different kinds of media as well, not just text. Training is provided to school staff each year, and transitioning from one school year to another makes annual implementation very simple. I have received help from Customer Support when creating rosters. We use Remind as an integrated part of our communications plan on a daily basis, multiple times a day.

Not much. I would like the ability to do mass calling, but the 2-way calling feature is nice.

Remind helps us to have a hub for all communications. We do have redundancies, but all parents know they can find whatever is needed on Remind.

Connecting with both parents and staff is incredibly simple, and the platform itself is very user-friendly.

We need to be careful not to share too much information at once, as parents can sometimes feel overwhelmed and may voice their concerns. However, this isn't a problem with the app itself.

Parent-teacher communication is very straightforward and helps everyone stay connected. Posting to ParentSquare is simple and convenient.

ParentSquare is the most user friendly platform we have used in many years. Our parents and staff love the social media "feel'.

Currently, I do not dislike anything about ParentSquare

I currently do not have any problems.
