Beginning July 1, 2025, Voorheesville will use ParentSquare to provide school communications via email, text and app notifications. The ParentSquare communication platform will replace SchoolMessenger.
ParentSquare is a unified communication platform that allows parents and guardians to receive important school district information and stay connected with their child’s teachers.
With ParentSquare, you can:
- Receive messages from the school district.
- Direct message teachers, sign forms and permission slips, sign up to volunteer and more all from your desktop or mobile device.
- Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6 p.m.
- Access information from a desktop or mobile device.
ParentSquare automatically reserves a free account for each parent or guardian, using their preferred contact information on file with the district. We encourage parents to activate their account so they can access the platform and select their notification preferences.
Activating a ParentSquare Account
All parents and guardians are automatically eligible for a free ParentSquare account, but they must activate the account using the email address and phone number currently on file with the district.
