ParentSquare for Parents Resources

ParentSquare is the district communication tool that RSU #74 will use to communicate with you, whether that be from the District level, School level, grade level or from your child's classroom teacher. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:

• Send and receive school and class information

• Share pictures and files

• See calendar items

• Sign up to volunteer

• Schedule parent-teacher conferences

• and much more . . . all in one centralized place!

First Steps for Parents

1. Register your ParentSquare account* using the email on file at your child’s school (as well as in ParentVue). This quick and easy process can be done in two ways:

• Visit www.parentsquare.com, enter your email in the “Sign Up/Create Password” section, and follow the prompts to get logged in; OR

• Download the Parentsquare App (Apple Store or Google Play Store) and enter your email address to create a password and log into your account.

*Parents who do not register their ParentSquare account will still receive district and school communications (via email for most) but will not be able to control how and when they receive messages from NCSD or use the two-way communication features of ParentSquare.

2. It is not required, but the district highly recommends that parents download the ParentSquare app.

3. Set your notification preferences

• ParentSquare allows parents/guardians to receive general (non-emergency) messages via email, text, the app or any combination of the three.

• Additionally, parents/guardians can select the “digest” option for any of the delivery methods, which will collect all the communications they would receive each day into a single message delivered in the evening. For example, one could select to receive text messages immediately while choosing the digest option for email.
