Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools is excited to partner with ParentSquare, a modern and unified communication platform designed to keep families connected with their children’s schools.

This innovative tool ensures that important updates, remindable, and conversations reach you in the most efficient and secure way possible.

Here’s a listing of what the platform can offer to students and families: 

How ParentSquare Enhances School Communication

ParentSquare bridges the gap between schools and families by providing a seamless, all-in-one communication hub. Whether it’s sharing updates about upcoming events, sending reminders about assignments, or facilitating direct conversations with teachers and staff, ParentSquare makes staying informed easier than ever.

 

Virtual Phone Calls: A New Era of School Communication

One of the standout features of ParentSquare is the ability for teachers, principals, and school staff to make virtual phone calls to families. These calls come from a dedicated virtual phone number, ensuring your privacy while keeping you connected.

 

Why Virtual Calls?

  • Convenience: No more missed calls or voicemails. Teachers can reach out directly when they need to share updates or discuss your child’s progress.
  • Transparency: Every virtual call is automatically recorded to ensure clarity and accountability. This means you can revisit important conversations whenever needed.
  • Safety: Teacher’s personal phone numbers remains private, as calls are made from a secure, school-issued virtual number.

 

Who Might Call You?

You may receive calls from:

  • Your student’s principal to share school-wide updates or discuss important initiatives.
  • Teachers to provide insights into your child’s academic progress, behavior, or upcoming projects.
  • School staff (e.g., counselors, nurses, or administrators) to address questions or concerns about your child’s well-being.

 

How to Make the Most of ParentSquare

  1. Opt-In for Notifications: Ensure your contact preferences are up to date in ParentSquare so you never miss an important message.
  2. Respond to Calls: If a teacher or staff member calls, take the time to listen and engage. These conversations are designed to support your child’s success.
  3. Review Call Recordings: If you miss a call, check your ParentSquare account for a recording and any follow-up details.

 

A Commitment to Privacy and Security

KCKPS and ParentSquare prioritize your privacy. All virtual calls are secure, and recordings are stored safely to protect your family’s information.

 

Stay Connected, Stay Informed!
ParentSquare is more than just a communication tool. It’s a way to foster stronger partnerships between schools and families. By embracing this technology, KCKPS is ensuring that you’re always in the loop and empowered to support your child’s educational journey.
