ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school. The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.) Learn more about managing notifications.

Parents can update their language preference for their account. Once they have done this, ParentSquare will automatically translate any communication to them in their selected language. Learn more about ParentSquare translations and how to set the language preference.
