BOUSD Launches ParentSquare: New Communication Platform to Encourage Stronger School-to-Home Engagement

Brea Olinda Unified School District (BOUSD) has launched ParentSquare—a simple and unified school-to-home communication platform designed to reach and engage every parent and help ensure all parents have the opportunity to actively participate in their children’s education. ParentSquare is now available for staff and parents to use on their computers or mobile devices.
 
By unifying multiple tools into one communications app and service, ParentSquare provides a seamless experience for parents and staff. Parents will be able to keep track of news, activities and events from all their children’s schools all in one place; and the two-way platform helps foster greater communication and family involvement.  
 
With ParentSquare, parents can enjoy photos posted by teachers, fill out forms and permission slips, sign up for parent-teacher conferences, check grades and attendance, and much more. School staff and parents will be able to engage in both one-to-one and group messaging with real-time language translation.

Brea Olinda Unified in partnership with ParentSquare will enable stronger engagement between school and home, and help empower everyone within the school community to stay connected and informed. 
 
Parents have been sent an email with instructions on how to register their ParentSquare account. Once users register their accounts, they will have access to all of the features within ParentSquare.
