Special to the News – ParentSquare
The district is launching Q Communication Powered by ParentSquare—a simple and unified school-to-home communication platform—to reach and engage every parent, helping ensure all parents can actively participate in their children’s education, at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year. The software will be available for staff and parents to use on their computers or mobile devices.
By unifying multiple tools into one communications app and service, Q Communication Powered by ParentSquare provides a seamless experience for parents and staff. Parents will be able to keep track of news, activities, and events from all their children’s schools in one place.
GCCISD hopes that Q Communication Powered by ParentSquare’s intuitive, two-way platform will foster greater communication and family involvement. With Q Communication Powered by ParentSquare, parents can enjoy photos posted by teachers, fill out forms and permission slips, sign up for parent-teacher conferences, check grades and attendance, and much more. School staff and parents can engage in both one-to-one and group messaging with real-time language translation.
“Effective school-to-home communication has never been more important, which is why Goose Creek CISD adopted the Q Communication Powered by ParentSquare communication platform,” Superintendent Dr. Randal O’Brien said. “We’re looking forward to reaching 100% of our families no matter where they are, unifying all our communications tools, and adopting an eco-friendlier approach by reducing the amount of paper used to send important communications.”
The district’s partnership with Q Communication Powered by ParentSquare will enable stronger engagement between school and home, and help empower everyone within the school community to stay connected and informed. For more information on ParentSquare, please visit www.parentsquare.com.
