New this Year! CSD Adopts ParentSquare Districtwide
The home-to-school connection in Canyons District will be strengthened with a districtwide launch of a digital communication platform called 家长广场, a communication tool that combines multiple communication streams into one easy-to-use interface for families, teachers, principals, and support staff. Starting this fall, parents will receive information via ParentSquare in addition to the robocalls, texts and emails from Skylert, the District’s current one-way communication system.
ParentSquare, on the other hand, allows for two-way communication between the school and parents. The platform will serve as the app that is approved for use in CSD schools so that parents do not have to go to various places and apps to get information about their child’s school, class, or extracurricular club or team.
Here is what you can do with ParentSquare this year
Receive messages from the school via email, text or mobile app notification
Two-way texting with translation between staff and families
Choose to receive information as it comes, or all at once in the evening
用您喜欢的语言交流
Direct message teachers and staff through a secure and private interface
Participate in group messages
A few of the things you can do on the app:
View Posts — News and happenings in the class, grade, school, or groups
活动 — Look at the school calendar and save events on your phone
相片 — Easily view and download class and school photos
Communicate— Message with staff or your classroom teacher
ParentSquare was piloted in a limited number of CSD schools last year. Positive feedback from both employees and the community, especially from multi-lingual families who benefit from the service’s instantaneous translations, prompted a districtwide implementation of the app.
Communication to Parents
After Back-to-School Online Registration, parents will receive an activation email for their ParentSquare account. Those who do not register will still receive text, email, and phone notifications. Parents who do create an account can interact by viewing photos, downloading attachments, leaving comments, messaging teachers, signing permission slips and managing their communication settings and preferences.
Parents also can go to parentsquare.com to sign into their free account. Please make sure to use either the email address or the phone number as listed in Skyward.
