What is CMS ParentSquare?
.
CMS ParentSquare is a comprehensive communication platform designed specifically for schools to connect with parents and create a strong school community. It offers a variety of features such as two-way group messaging, private conversations, district-wide alerts and notices, and a simple user interface to keep everyone connected.
In today's digital age, traditional methods of communication like emails, flyers, and robocalls are often ineffective and hard to track. CMS ParentSquare aims to revolutionize school communication by providing a secure and efficient platform for parents to stay updated on their child's education. It eliminates the role of parents as mere spectators and encourages their active involvement in their child's school life.
The CMS ParentSquare app for Android allows parents to easily connect with teachers and staff at their child's school from their Android device. They can view and interact with posts, sign up for volunteer opportunities and events, and add important dates to their device calendar. The app also allows for private messaging, group conversations, and viewing of pictures and files.
Additionally, parents can access important school information such as attendance, cafeteria, and library dues, and respond to absences or tardies. They can also make purchases for goods and services offered by the school, if allowed by the school's implementation. CMS ParentSquare strives to provide an easy-to-use interface, catering to all parents, including those who may not be familiar with technology.

CMS ParentSquare is a safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication. The two-way group messaging, private conversations, district-wide alerts and notices, and simple user interface keeps everyone connected, creating a vibrant school community.
In today's ed-tech world, schools need a better communication system than relying on hard-to-track emails, lost flyers, missed robocalls, website updates that are never read, or piggybacking on SIS or LMS tools meant for student communication. CMS ParentSquare brings the power of ed-tech revolution to the parents. It reverses the trend for disparate, one-way communication that keeps parents as 'spectators' to their child's education.
Understanding the need for a whole-school adoption, we strive to keep an easy to use interface for CMS ParentSquare, much like the social tools you are used to in today's online digital world. ParentSquare caters to every parent, including those who rarely use technology.
