Dear Families,


We are excited to announce that WCUSD#5 has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents, guardians, and students informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with the district, schools, sports teams, and clubs. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, coaches, and parents to:
 

  • Send and receive district and school information

  • Share pictures and files

  • See calendar events

  • Communicate with sports teams and clubs

  • and much more . . . all in one centralized place!

 

All district, school, and sports/club information will now be sent to your computer (www.parentsquare.com) or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).  


Waterloo High School and Waterloo Junior High School students will also be able to take advantage of this platform for sports and club communication.  They can simply login to the website or StudentSquare app by using their school issued email address.


Please be on the lookout for an email/text invitation from ParentSquare to login and get started! Want to control the frequency of your communication?  View this tutorial on how to adjust your notification settings.
