What this document actually says

This is a contract proposal from ParentSquare for a district-wide communication platform from April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The total cost is $8,000, which includes a one-time $1,500 onboarding fee and $6,500 annual subscription ($6.50 per student for 1,000 students). The platform provides two-way messaging via text, email, and app in multiple languages, automated notifications, volunteer signups, digital permission slips, forms, and document delivery. The contract includes staff training, data migration, and ongoing support. The quote is valid until April 11, 2026 and pricing may increase annually per the agreement terms.

What this means for your family

This contract would continue the district's ParentSquare platform, which families use to receive school messages, sign permission slips digitally, RSVP to events, sign up to volunteer, and communicate with teachers and staff. Messages are automatically translated into families' preferred languages. The platform also includes StudentSquare, an app for student communication.
