ParentSquare
Glen Cove City School District uses ParentSquare, a simple and unified school-to-home communication platform — to reach and engage every parent, helping ensure all parents have the opportunity to actively participate in their children’s education. ParentSquare will be available for staff and parents to use on their computers or mobile devices.
By unifying multiple tools into one communications app and service, ParentSquare will provide a seamless experience for families and staff. Parents will be able to keep track of news, activities and events from all their children’s schools in one place.
We hope that ParentSquare’s intuitive, two-way platform will foster greater communication and family involvement. With ParentSquare, parents can enjoy photos posted by teachers, fill out forms and permission slips, sign up for parent-teacher conferences, check attendance, and much more. School staff and parents can engage in both one-to-one and group messaging with real-time language translation!
All district and school information will now be sent using Parent Square. Communication will continue to come to your computer or phone via email and or/text as it has in the past. But for a more detailed experience, we encourage all of our community members to download the Parent Square app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). Take advantage of the important information below, we look forward to our enhanced communication with our community!
If you have any questions/comments or require technical assistance, please reach out by sending an email to: ParentSquare@glencoveschools.org
