Albuquerque Public Schools will test its new communication system, ParentSquare, on Saturday, Oct. 17, as it moves all district communications to the app, KOB 4 reports.
Families who receive the test text don’t need to do anything else. Families who don’t get a test message Saturday should contact their child’s school and make sure APS has their current phone number and email address. Starting Monday, the district will send all emergency alerts through ParentSquare.
ParentSquare brings school and classroom messages together in one place, available in a family’s preferred language by email, text, app, website or phone call. Families can message teachers and staff, complete forms and permission slips, sign up for conferences and volunteer opportunities, check school calendars and view photos from their child’s school. The free app is available for iOS and Android, or online at parentsquare.com.
