We’re excited to share that this week, we’re launching our district’s new communication platform, called ParentSquare, to help us keep you better informed and more connected with your school community.
With ParentSquare, MSD25 families will receive all school and classroom messages in one place and translated into their preferred language—whether by email, text, app, or web.
Families will soon receive an invitation to the platform to begin setting up their accounts. Before getting started, please check your Skyward portal to ensure the contact details listed for you and other parents/guardians in your household are correct. If you need help updating your information in Skyward, please contact your child’s school.
To get the most out of ParentSquare, we encourage you to download the free mobile app, available for iOS and Android. You can also access ParentSquare from your web browser at www.parentsquare.com.
Learn more and access helpful resources by visiting our ParentSquare support page HERE. It will be updated periodically with information and resources about using the platform.
Capture those smiles and make memories to treasure for years to come! 💙
📷 Picture Day Tips:
✨ Solid colors and simple patterns photograph best.
✂️ Schedule haircuts about 10 days before Picture Day.
🚫 Avoid logos and text that may distract from your student’s smile.
🛒 Pre-order photos: Visit MyDorian.com, search for your school, and click the green Order button or yellow Help button for your Picture Day. Pre-ordering is available now and up to two days after Picture Day. Order early to avoid additional fees!
