About this app

What is ParentSquare?
-------------------------

ParentSquare is a safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication. The two-way group messaging, private conversations, district-wide alerts and notices, and simple user interface keeps everyone connected, creating a vibrant school community.

In today's ed-tech world, schools need a better communication system than relying on hard-to-track emails, lost flyers, missed robocalls, website updates that are never read, or piggybacking on SIS or LMS tools meant for student communication. ParentSquare brings the power of ed-tech revolution to the parents. It reverses the trend for disparate, one-way communication that keeps parents as 'spectators' to their child's education.

Understanding the need for a whole-school adoption, we strive to keep an easy to use interface for ParentSquare, much like the social tools you are used to in today's online digital world. ParentSquare caters to every parent, including those who rarely use technology.

Very cluttered interface, not at all intuitive. Needs major UX improvements. Our district is rolling this out, starting with the communication section. The communication feed is a mess. It's a wall of repetitive text. The graphic design/visual aspect is so cluttered and overwhelming. Zero attempt at visual hierarchy. Get rid of the heart/comment stuff - why clutter the screen if the school disabled the comments? Use logos instead of cluttering screen with the full district name. ugh.

Hello, Tiffany. Feedback from our users is important to us, so thank you for taking the time to submit a review. UX improvements take time, so although you may not see huge changes in the very near future, please know that we hear you loud and clear, and we are on it.

Installed app because I was trying to fill out the form to sign my son up for Saturday academy but every time I tried to sign the form it would say it wasn't supported. As soon as I installed the app I was able to sign and complete the form which is very convenient. It's also nice to receive notices and messages more like a text message than having to sign in on a computer and search for them.

As though we are all retired; &, have time to deal with the inundation of the seemingly non stop communications; regardless if they have anything to do with us; or, our particular student. In my opinion there are too many platforms. I would rather that an existing platform be expanded, than to continue creating new ones. For this, I take a double hit; both via email & the parent square app: For me, personally, it's over kill. My 2 cents worth, which, although honest, will be found offensive.
