Stay Connected with ParentSquare

In August 2025, District 58 is launching a new communication platform called ParentSquare, which is a user-friendly tool is designed to strengthen family engagement by delivering timely updates, helpful resources, and important school and district news—all in one place. ParentSquare will become our primary method of communication and aligns with the platform used by District 99, ensuring a smoother transition for families as students move from middle to high school.

What you can do with ParentSquare:

  • Choose how you prefer to receive messages—email, text, phone call, and/or app notifications.
  • Select instant alerts or a once-daily message digest delivery.
  • Automatically receive messages translated into your preferred language.
  • View posts, documents, photos, calendars, and important announcements
  • Comment on district and school posts and stay engaged with your school community
  • Fill out forms, sign permission slips, and sign-up for meetings and school events 

 

Personalize your ParentSquare Account:

An account is automatically created for each parent/guardian using the contact information in our student informaton system, PowerSchool.  We encourage you to activate your account to download the free mobile app, set your language preferences, and choose how and when you would like to receive messages. In early August, parents/guardians and staff will receive an invitation email with instructions to activate your account and personalize their settings to get the most out of the platform. 

 

How will District 58 use ParentSquare?

Initially, ParentSquare will be used only for communication from the District and school offices. Over time, we plan to thoughtfully expand its use to include messages from teachers and staff, where appropriate. We are excited about the possibilities this new tool brings and are committed to a smooth rollout for everyone.
