"Significantly Improve School to Home Communication"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

ParentSquare has significantly improved how we connect with families at our district. By unifying all communication into one platform, it's revolutionized our outreach, making it easy and accessible for everyone. As Director of Communication, this is a lifesaver. We can send out urgent alerts, classroom updates, and engage parents more collaboratively—all from one place. The translation feature means every parent gets information in their preferred language automatically. Simply put, it's a user-friendly communication hub that brings our schools and families closer together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

ParentSquare has significantly improved the way we communicate with families, students, and staff. Its user-friendly platform and powerful auto-translation feature have enhanced accessibility and engagement across our diverse school community. We rely on ParentSquare for everything from distributing secure documents to sharing timely updates and event information. With this platform, we’re able to reach 99% of our families—and thanks to its data insights, we can quickly identify and update missing contact information to ensure no one is left out.

What do you dislike about ParentSquare?

I would love to see more administrative functionality added to the mobile app—similar to what’s available on the web version. For example, it would be really helpful if we could see how many recipients a post is going to when using the app. Adding features like this would make it even easier for administrators to manage communications on the go!

"Exceptional communication tool backed by reliable support and seamless integration"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

ParentSquare has been a game-changer for our district's communication strategy. The platform integrates flawlessly with our existing systems, creating a unified and efficient workflow for both staff and families. What truly sets ParentSquare apart, though, is the level of customer service and partnership they provide. Their support team is responsive, proactive, and always willing to collaborate on solutions that fit our needs. We never feel like we are navigating the platform alone, this kind of partnership is rare and deeply appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentSquare?

While ParentSquare excels in streamlining communication, some families (particularly those with multiple children in different schools across the district) have shared that the notifications can be overwhelming. It would be helpful to have additional options for parents to further customize and tailor their notification preferences to avoid duplicate communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Loving ParentSquare!"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

ParentSquare has truly enhanced our school's communication game. With its user-friendly platform, staying connected is effortless. We send out everything from announcements to permission slips seamlessly through texts, emails, and app notifications. The automatic two-way translation in 100+ languages is particularly impressive and ensures that no parent is left out. It has proven to be an effective and valuable communication hub for our school community. It was easy to integrate into our system, and the schools have been using it with ease. We are hearing great reviews from parents too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentSquare?

While it was definitely the best platform we found for consolidating our communications and engagement activities, since it is on the newer side, it is still being worked on and enhanced regularly when we find minor oversights, needs. There are only very minor gaps, but we have found ParentSquare to be extremely responsive to upgrade and enhancement requests. We've only been with them a little over a year and have seen many improvements added already. Their customer support is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

✨ I love how seamlessly this program works! It keeps communication flowing smoothly with both parents and staff. From syncing with my website to sending quick text updates, it's efficient and user-friendly.

The new templates are perfect for teacher and parent communication, and I’m especially thankful for the built-in forms and sign-up tools—my staff has used them for Parent-Teacher Conferences, class supplies, and party coordination.

📂 And the best part? Everything is archived, making it easy to stay organized and accountable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Happy Customers"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

Our district deployed the ParentSquare communications platform almost a year ago, and we've been nothing but thrilled with how easy the platform is for our teachers, administrators and other key communicators to use. The language translation functionality is a game changer, and all of the integrations with Canva make it even easier for our staff to create visually attractive and informative content. We just added Smart Sites to our ParentSquare environment and became the company's 600th school district to launch Smart Sites, a website portal that allows content from the Posts to appear on the website with just a few clicks. The customer support is best of breed in my opinion - so easy to reach a real human when you need them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
