Family Messaging in ParentSquare offers a simple, secure way for families to stay connected throughout the school day. This feature allows parents and students to message one another within their own family. Using the direct message feature, parents can message their student, students can message their parents, and additional family members can be included when needed.

This tool supports our no-cell-phone policy by providing a school-approved way to communicate while also reducing the need for the front office to relay messages. It’s a streamlined, focused approach to keeping families connected and students supported.

To download the ParentSquare app and register your account, visit our ParentSquare webpage. Questions? Contact Ms. Erntson, director of communication and community engagement at c.erntson@pactcharter.org.
