WCUSD#5 App / ParentSquare

Posted Date: 8/01/25 (8:32 AM)

Parents/Guardians & Students,

Now that WCUSD#5 is using ParentSquare, we will no longer be utilizing the WCUSD#5 app (The Waterloo Athletics app is still active!).  If you have this app currently on your phone, please delete it as the content will no longer be updated. The ParentSquare app will have everything you need (see below)!  You can also access ParentSquare on the web at www.parentsquare.com.

Links
Each building in ParentSquare has useful links that include the building's website, cafeteria menus, helpful resources, and Skyward!

Calendars
Each building in ParentSquare will display the district calendar (displayed in black) along with that building's events (displayed in a 2nd color depending on the building).  If your student is in a junior high or high school sport/activity and that coach/sponsor has added a calendar, you will also see those events displayed in a 3rd color.  
 A website and app display a school calendar for August 2025.
Notification Settings
You can now control how/when you receive notifications from the district and buildings.  Simply login to ParentSquare, navigate to account settings, and click on notification settings.   It is suggested that school alerts remain on to receive alerts from the Superintendent, Brian Charron.
