FCUSD uses ParentSquare as our official, districtwide communication platform. ParentSquare has been fully integrated since 2024 and is the primary way families receive school and district information.
What is ParentSquare?
ParentSquare helps FCUSD connect with families in one consistent, secure place. Using ParentSquare, families can receive:
- District and school news and reminders
- Classroom and teacher messages
- Event information and sign-ups
- Emergency alerts (such as school closures or schedule changes)
ParentSquare automatically uses the primary contact information families have on file in PowerSchool. Keeping your PowerSchool contact details up to date ensures you don’t miss important messages.
Getting Started
Most families already have an active ParentSquare account. If you haven’t logged in yet, you can quickly get started:
- Download the ParentSquare mobile app (recommended), or
- Visit www.parentsquare.com/signin and sign in using the email address or mobile phone number on file with your school
If your contact information matches our records, ParentSquare will guide you through account activation automatically.
Download the App
- iOS: ParentSquare on the App Store
- Android: ParentSquare on Google Play
Language Translation Support
ParentSquare allows families to receive messages in their preferred language. Two-way translation is supported, making it easy for families and staff to communicate—each person can write in their own language.
Rather than duplicating step-by-step directions here, ParentSquare provides always‑up‑to‑date instructions:
Here are directions on how to Change Your Preferred Language in ParentSquare
Note: The language for the mobile app interface itself is controlled by your phone’s system language settings
Notification Preferences
Families control how often they receive non‑urgent notifications:
- Instant: Messages are delivered in real time
- Digest: Non‑urgent messages are grouped into one daily email (sent in the evening)
Notification settings can be adjusted at any time from:
- Web: My Account → Notification Settings
- App: Menu ☰ → Account → Notifications
