From the Field - A Real Q&A from our Educator User Group

A newcomer to our Facebook Educator User Group recently shared this message:

“Hi! Our school district is starting ParentSquare this coming school year. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. What are your suggestions on getting a head start? Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated. I'm excited to offer this platform to students and parents.”

We love seeing this kind of excitement and our amazing community came through with encouragement and helpful advice!

If you are wondering where to begin, our Get Training page is the perfect place to start. It is packed with resources to help you feel confident and ready, including:
  • Live webinar trainings offered multiple times a week, Monday through Thursday
  • ParentSquare Academy with on-demand courses and certificates to track your learning

Our Launch Kit also features slide decks, printable handouts, graphics, and customizable templates to power your rollout.

Our Educator User Group is an exclusive online community where current ParentSquare users share ideas, ask questions, and exchange tips. While access is reserved for active customers, you will be invited to join once your district comes on board. In the meantime, this Facebook group is limited to verified educators already using ParentSquare.
A group of five women are gathered around their phones while icons of social media float in the air behind them. Icons include Pinterest, Facebook, Z, and LinkedIn with some floating hearts.
 
A ParentSquare testimonial features a quote praising the platform.

"The best thing that we did for this district."

That’s how School Board Member Kayce Hawkins described Hernando County School District's move to ParentSquare, and she’s not alone.

In the district’s 2025 annual engagement survey, 86% of parents said they prefer ParentSquare to stay informed. With more than 2,200 responses from families, that’s a clear signal: simplifying communication helps everyone stay connected.

By bringing messages, alerts, and updates into one easy-to-use platform, this district is making school-home communication more consistent, inclusive, and effective for every family.
