Schalmont is excited to announce that we have switched district communication platforms from SchoolMessenger to ParentSquare.
Not only does ParentSquare allow us to continue to send texts, emails and automated phone calls to our families, but we also can now offer:
- An app for smartphones that allows us to better communicate with families in a convenient, streamlined way.
- Attendance calls will be made through text and email with an option to send an excuse note electronically, so families don’t have to call the school. (Phone calls will be used if a text does not reach a parent or guardian.)
If you have not done so, we encourage you to download the free ParentSquare app. We plan to push out lots of information to our families in the coming weeks as we approach the new school year. The ParentSquare app is a great way to view and find the information we share with families.
ParentSquare offers many more features that we hope to add in the future. However, we don’t plan to jump into those features right away as we’ll need time to consider what tools work best for Schalmont and implement any changes in a thoughtful way.
Schalmont parents and guardians should have received an email or text on August 9 to register. If you did not or have any questions, please feel free to contact Director of Communications Jason McCord at jmccord@schalmont.net.
