ParentSquare Information

Parents/guardians, staff members, and students in grades K–12 don't need to sign up for ParentSquare, simply log in using your Huron City Schools email address, or the email address associated with your FinalForms account.

To log in, go to the ParentSquare website. If you're already logged into your Huron City Schools email through your browser, click "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Microsoft." Or, download the app from Apple or Google.

From there, we suggest you adjust your Notification Settings as described below.

Guests: If you need guest access, please contact the school for assistance at 419-433-1234 x 5000.

Staff who are also parents: You have the option to merge your staff and parent accounts into one login.

Once you've registered your account, you can choose how you receive notifications, by email, text, or mobile app, and how often.

Notification Options

• Instant: Receive all messages right away
• Digest: Receive all messages together in one daily summary around 6:00 p.m.
• Off: No routine notifications sent, check the app at your leisure

Regardless of your settings, you will always receive Urgent Alerts instantly (including emergency and snow-cancellation messages), since these are reserved for time-sensitive information and used sparingly.

If you're receiving too many messages: Log into your account, go to Notification Settings, and select "Digest." Make sure "School Alerts" stays set to "On" — this way you'll receive routine updates once a day at 6:00 p.m., while still getting time-sensitive School Alerts (also called Smart Alerts) as they happen. You can also select "Off" for general notifications while keeping "School Alerts" on.

If you're not receiving messages at all, you may have accidentally blocked ParentSquare texts on your phone.

• Text "START" to 66458 to re-enable text messages.
• If the problem continues, contact your school administrator for help.

How to Change Your Notification Settings

On the mobile app:

1. From Home, tap the Menu (three lines) in the top left.
2. Select Account.
3. Select Notifications.
4. Use the toggle to turn notifications on or off by email, text, and app.
5. Select Instant or Digest for each.

On a web browser:

1. From Home, click your name in the top-right corner and select My Account.
2. Select Notification Settings on the left.
3. Choose your preferred settings for General Announcements & Messages (Off, Instant, or Digest) and School Alerts (On or Off).

Opting out of text messages entirely: Reply "STOP" to any text message you receive. Note that once you opt out this way, you can only resume receiving texts by texting "START" to 66458, so adjusting your Notification Settings (above) is usually the better option if you just want fewer messages.

Multiple phone numbers or emails on file? You can set the order of your preferred contacts. Notifications are only sent to one email and one phone number on your account.

All users: Update your contact information in FinalForms, it will automatically sync with ParentSquare. You cannot update contact information directly within ParentSquare.

If a child or school is missing from your account, it's likely because:

• Your contact information doesn't match what's on file in FinalForms, or
• You have more than one ParentSquare account with different contact information

To fix this: Update your contact information in FinalForms, and make sure it's consistent across all your children's records.

Staff members who are also parents: You can link your staff and parent contacts to the same account by merging them.

• If your staff record's district email and your parent record's personal email share the same phone number, your accounts can be linked easily — they'll merge automatically once you complete verification. After merging, you'll use your staff email to log in, though both emails remain on the account.
• If you have separate accounts under different emails or phone numbers, use the Combine Account option to merge them.

Go to the ParentSquare website and click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Enter your email or phone number, and you'll receive a link to reset your password.

ParentSquare automatically displays in your device's set language, but you can also change it manually.

On a web browser:

1. From Home, click your name in the top-right corner and select My Account.
2. Select Language Settings on the left.
3. Choose your language from the dropdown menu and click Save.

On the mobile app:

1. From Home, tap the Menu (three lines) in the top left.
2. Select Account.
3. Select Preferences.
4. Select Language.
5. Scroll through the list and tap your language.

For more detail, see ParentSquare's help article on changing your language settings.

Contact your child's teacher privately using the direct messaging tool.

1. On the web, click "Messages" in the left sidebar, then click "New Message" to start a direct conversation. On the app, tap the "+" icon to start a new message.
2. Your child's teacher and group owners appear in the quick-select recipients box at the top of the page — or type the first three letters of a name to search for other users.
3. Send a private direct message to your child's teacher, or to other staff members like coaches and club leaders.

For more detail, see ParentSquare's help article on sending a private or group message.
