ParentSquare
Findlay City Schools uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.
An account is automatically created for each parent or guardian using the Parent/Guardian #1 or Parent/Guardian #2 contact information in Final Forms. These accounts will be activated upon acceptance of the invitation link, which will be sent via email before the school year begins.
We encourage you to activate your account to download the free mobile app, set your language preferences, and choose how and when you’d like to receive messages.
With ParentSquare:
- Receive updates from your school via email, app, or text notification
- Choose to get posts as they’re shared or bundled in a daily digest
- View posts, photos, calendars, and important announcements
- Communicate in your preferred language with automatic translation
- Comment on school posts and stay engaged with your school community
- Send direct messages to teachers and staff
- Participate in group conversations with other families
- Sign up for conferences and school events
- Fill out forms, sign permission slips, make payments, and view report cards—all in one place
