PARENTSQUARE & POWERSCHOOL
We believe parents are our partners in education. To make this partnership work, we provide seamless communication options for us to reach and hear from the parents of our scholars.
PARENT SQUARE
KEEPS YOU INFORMED AND CONNECTED WITH RISE PREP ACADEMIES
RISE Prep Academies use ParentSquare for school communication, primarily through email, text, and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each family member using their preferred email address and phone. number. We encourage families to access their accounts, download the mobile app, and update their notification preferences.
Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:
- Receive messages from RISE Prep via email, text, or app notification
- Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6:00 pm
- Communicate in your preferred language
- Comment on school postings to engage with your school community
- Direct message teachers and staff
- Participate in group messages
- Sign up for parent-teacher conferences
- Send payments, sign forms & permission slips, receive report cards, sign up to volunteer, and more, all from your desktop or mobile device
How do I sign up for ParentSquare
RISE Prep Academies will send you an invitation email or text to join ParentSquare, and you’ll click a link to activate your account. If you are a family member and our database (SIS) contains your contact details, you can use your email or phone number to set up your account without the invitation.
Step 1
Find the email from RISE Prep and click to get started, or: Go to parentsquare.com/signin (or install the ParentSquare app) and follow the prompts to sign up.
Step 2
Use Google single sign-on, your email, or your phone number to set up your account. Your email/phone number must match contact details in our database for this to work!
Step 3
If your contact details aren’t recognized, contact our school administration to get them added. After they update your information in their database, the new contact details will appear in ParentSquare after the next daily sync, and you will be able to create an account.
Note: After you are added to ParentSquare by RISE Prep, you will receive communications from us even if you have not registered your account. However, you will need to register your account in order to participate in two-way communications and to access any confidential student-specific documents or forms.
