Wrightstown Community School District has transitioned to ParentSquare as a communication platform.
HOW WCSD USES PARENTSQUARE
WCSD communicates with families about important events, inclement weather, and emergency situations via ParentSquare. The type of communication will depend on the type of situation and user preference.
Email
Email is one of the primary forms of communication through ParentSquare. Email is used to communicate school-level and district-wide news/events that are non-emergency in nature. Emergency alerts are sent via email in conjunction with other forms of communication.
App
The mobile/desktop app is another primary form of communication through ParentSquare. The app is used for the same purposes as email. The ParentSquare mobile app is available for download for both Apple and Google devices.
Text Messages
Parents are automatically registered to receive notifications when they enroll their student in the district. Text messages may be used as a duplicate form of communication when the district or individual schools send out posts or when individual teachers send a message to families using ParentSquare.
Phone Calls
Phone calls are only used in elevated situations like emergencies, delays, or cancellations
