Our District Communication Tool
Duluth Public Schools uses ParentSquare to communicate with families
Dear Families,
We are excited to announce that we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication at Duluth Public Schools called ParentSquare. You may have already started receiving communications from the district or your school through this platform. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with Duluth Public Schools. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
Send and receive school and class information
Share pictures and files
See calendar items
Sign up to volunteer
Schedule parent-teacher conferences
and much more . . . all in one centralized place!
Families will receive text messages, emails and phone calls from ParentSquare. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices) to message your student(s) teachers directly or ask questions.
Have questions? Click the question mark in the top right corner of the desktop version or the Help tab on the app (tap the triple bar icon at the top left) to find answers to most of your questions.
If you have further questions please feel free to email communications@isd709.org.
