ParentSquare Information for Families

 

ParentSquare is a unified communication platform that offers a whole host of tools which allows district, school administrators and teachers to more effectively communicate and engage with families and students.

 

ParentSquare offers a simple, user-friendly app (free for iOS and Android) that brings all school and district communication into one place. You’ll still receive messages by email or text, but the app provides the most seamless experience. Messages can be sent and received in over 100 languages with built-in translation, making communication more accessible for all families.

 

As more features of the app become available, ParentSquare will offer interactive tools that let you sign permission slips, RSVP to events, volunteer, and schedule conferences. You’ll also be able to customize how and when you receive notifications, including options for instant alerts or a daily summary.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. The email and/or cell phone number should match what is listed in Genesis.

    On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under ‘Register’ section, put your email or phone number and click '“Go”.

    If the email or phone number is not recognized by ParentSquare, parents can email support@branchburg.k12.nj.us for assistance.

  • ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school. The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.) Learn more about managing notifications.

  • Parents can update their language preference for their account. Once they have done this, ParentSquare will automatically translate any communication to them in their selected language. This translation will also occur when the parent sends a message to a staff member. Learn more about ParentSquare translations and how to set the language preference.
