We're use ParentSquare to keep families up to date with all that is going on with your child at school. Parents and guardians (plus CHS students) automatically receive a “daily digest” each day around 6pm with any updates from teachers, coaches, your principal, the PTO, or the school division. 

You can also use ParentSquare to send or receive any direct messages with school staff. Plus, ParentSquare includes calendars, event sign-ups, and much more.

  • How to Get Started

    Parents and guardians automatically receive a 6pm “daily digest” via email and/or text using the information on file for your student(s).

    But to adjust your settings and maximize the benefits, please visit parentsquare.com/signin and create your account with the email or phone number that is on file for your student(s) in our school records. We strongly encourage users to download the free app!

  • Manage Your Notifications

    ParentSquare allows parents/guardians to customize their experience of receiving messages (email, text, and/or app notifications). Don’t want to receive a lot of notifications? The default setting is to receive one daily summary of notifications (with the exception of emergency notifications).

    Emergency messages plus direct (individual) messages  will go to all families immediately regardless of your notification settings.
