ParentSquare
All schools within Gateway Community Charters utilize the ParentSquare program. ParentSquare is a communications tool that provide a safe way for the school principal, teachers, staff and parents to receive important school and teacher communication -- all in one place. All school, grade level and classroom information will automatically be sent to your computer or phone via email, and/or text. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

-
- Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification
- Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once at 6pm daily
- Communicate in your preferred language
- Comment on school postings to engage in your school community
- Direct message teachers, staff and other parents
- Participate in group messages
- Sign up for parent-teacher conferences with smart online technology
Please contact your child's school front office for more information about accessing ParentSquare or to update your contact information.
