What is ParentSquare?

Worcester Public Schools uses ParentSquare as the communication platform for district and school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications.

All WPS staff, parents/guardians, and students automatically have ParentSquare accounts, but we encourage you to log in and register your account (with your WPS-associated email address or phone number) to control your preferences, such as how often you receive notifications, and to be able to fill out forms/permission slips electronically.

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.
