The Worcester Public Schools (WPS) is excited to announce that ParentSquare is now available to all families and staff! It is also available for students in grades 9-12 via StudentSquare.
What is ParentSquare?
ParentSquare is the district’s new two-way communications platform that provides instant translations in 100+ languages. It has been launched in all WPS schools over the past few months.
ParentSquare is used for items such as newsletters, snow day notifications, group chats, calendars, report cards, volunteer sign-ups and more. Beginning the week of April 22, 2024, we will begin using ParentSquare for districtwide newsletters and announcements, and posting student report cards.
Download the App
While it is not required, we highly suggest you: 1) download the ParentSquare app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store, and 2) register your ParentSquare account with the email address that is connected to your student through the WooEdu Parent Portal.
You Choose How Often You Receive Notifications
Once you have registered your account, you can adjust your notification settings to determine which communication methods you prefer – email, text, or mobile app – and how often you would like to receive these notifications.
You have three options:
- Instant: Receive all messages instantly
- Digest: Receive all messages together in one daily communication around 6:00 PM*
- Off: No notifications are sent.* You can check the app for notifications at your leisure.
*Regardless of your notification settings, you will continue to receive emergency notifications instantly. This will include snow cancellation messages.
Please note that if you reply “STOP” to opt out of text notifications, you cannot resume receiving text messages unless you text, “START” to 66458.
