ParentSquare for 2025-2026

Plain Local Schools will transition to ParentSquare as our exclusive communication platform starting with the 2025–2026 school year.

ParentSquare is designed to make it easier for families to stay connected with their child’s school. It will bring all school communication, emails, text messages, app notifications, forms, and announcements into one easy-to-use platform. This change will replace systems like Remind, different email newsletters, and other tools we’ve used in the past, giving you one place to receive information from teachers, principals, and the district.

What does this mean for Plain Local families?
There is no action required at this time. We simply want families to be aware of this upcoming change. Over the summer, you will receive instructions from the district on how and when to activate your ParentSquare account.

Some features you can look forward to:

• Announcements, reminders, and messages all in one place for all students and all classes, clubs, activities, and sports. 

• Direct messaging with automatic language translation

• The option to choose how you receive messages—by text, email, app notification, or web

• The choice to receive messages instantly or in a daily summary

We’re making this change to give families clear, consistent, and accessible communication from all levels of our school community. More details will be shared this summer to guide you through setting up your account.
