Users can click the link at the bottom of any ParentSquare email to activate their account. Users can also register through the ParentSquare app or at https://www.parentsquare.com/signin using the email address provided to the District.
Once you activate your account, you can verify your contact information and update your preferences. To learn more about how to use ParentSquare, you are invited to complete ParentSquare’s Parent Training Module.
