ParenSquare
PVSchools uses ParentSquare as a primary platform for school communication, along with other district-approved communications options, including email, Google Chat, and Infinite Campus. With ParentSquare, families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.
An account is automatically created for each parent or guardian using the contact information in Infinite Campus. Parents and guardians are encouraged to activate their account and download the free mobile app to choose how and when they’d like to receive messages. Activation is not required to receive important messages from the district and your child's school.
Horizon, North Canyon, Paradise Valley, Pinnacle, and Shadow Mountain High School students and families will receive an invitation to activate ParentSquare in October 2025. Elementary and middle schools will have access in early 2026.
Here’s just some of what you can do with ParentSquare:
- Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification.
- Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once.
- Communicate in your preferred language.
- Receive emergency alerts and attendance notices, that cannot be disabled.
- Receive General Announcements & Messages, which include any posts, direct messages and reminders.
