Too many messages. Not easy to sort or navigate
I tried to find a way to share this privately with the app developers, but the awkward navigation means I’m sharing here.
We need a way to just view unread messages. I can mark all as read easily with a bar at the top of the page — but that doesn’t help ensure I’ve not missed anything. I went 2 days without actively keeping up just noticing some notifications instead of all, and now have 12 unread messages to scroll and find.
I also think the most intuitive way to search for messages is by group — but that takes way more clicks to find than to just scroll through the mess of messages in chronological order.

Notifications should be on the home page two
This is a nice app to stay connected with the school and teachers. It would be nice if notifications (especially school wide ones) were on the home page.
I updated and now I’m not able to access
Really bad after the update
Easy communication
I love this because I can communicate with the person I needed for my kid’s school.
Works
I like that I am able to send a message to my son’s teacher or even the principal of the school. And I get notified when they post about school events. Sometimes it’s a little confusing to use but I just look around and I am able to navigate it.
Don’t like it.
It’s not helpful at all because it is completely overused by teachers so parents can not sift through information that is actually applicable to their children.
Unnecessary
This app tracks all your information and the links you click. IP tracking and messages. Why?
Remind is Better
In my school district remind was replaced by ParentSquare. I am able to directly communicate with my teachers and receive messages from my school about updates. I will say it is very effective for sending updates and announcements to the entire school. However, I prefer Remind for its flexibility and a more user-friendly interface.

Too many notifications
I have notifications set to in app only and I still receive emails, text and in app notifications.
Communication
I just love it. I loved Remind App, but ParentSquare gives me opportunity to communicate.
As a teacher, I am able to communicate with my parents knowing that they get the messages by email and/or by phone.
As a parent, I love that I get to communicate with the teachers quickly and get up-to-date messages from the school about things going on.

If I could give one star I would
This app is awful, I hope the school gets it for free and doesn’t have to pay for such a poor service
Up to date
I get the latest updates from school and my daughter's swim practices. More useful than the previous system where I got a call & text to check my email🤪
Confusing, clunky, outdated
This is such a binding tool of oppression to keep open dialogue and opinions on lock down. It’s redundant, super clunky, annoying and difficult to navigate.
Not impressed
I dislike this app and does not directly let me communicate with educators. Like Remind used to.
Great
Gets all the info because mom can’t remember
Terrible
This app is not intuitive or user-friendly at all. Half the time I just end up button-mashing to try to find the message or notice I’m looking for. I have an M.A. so I can’t imagine how hard it must be for families with limited English proficiency or tech know-how. Do better, ParentSquare.
The best communication made for us parent
Love it 💯
Parent Square is best Idea
This app makes me feel relieved and informative. I’m able to look back on it for reference and I like the fact that it gives me a way to track the buses.
Excellent School Communication Tool
ParentSquare is a very helpful, easy-to-use platform for one-on-one communication with teachers, transportation delay updates, schedule changes, and staying informed about school events and CMS announcements. Having everything in one place makes communication convenient and keeps parents well informed. Thank you!
