ParentSquare
Quaker Valley School District now uses ParentSquare for school communication. Parents/guardians, staff members, middle and high school students, and others will receive important updates and notices via text and email notifications. Account holders are able to modify their notification settings upon creating a login and password.
ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent/guardian, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents/guardians to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app, which is available for download both in the App Store and on Google Play.
ParentSquare will replace Swift K12, which was our previous mass notification system and will provide many features to streamline communications within the District. ParentSquare will not replace PowerSchool, Schoology, or email communication.

ParentSquare Notifications
Feeling overwhelmed by ParentSquare notifications? You are able to customize the delivery of non-essential notifications through your ParentSquare account. First, if you have not already, create your ParentSquare account. Then follow the steps outlined in the video below to customize those settings through the website or your mobile app. In these menus, you can choose to have instant notifications, digested notifications (delivered once per day), or turn them off completely. Changing your notification settings will NOT impact the way emergency notifications and bus alerts are delivered to you. You cannot opt out of these types of alerts. view notification settings tutorial
