Frequently asked questions
What is a school mass notification system?
A school mass notification system allows districts and schools to send important updates, alerts, and announcements to families and staff quickly and reliably across multiple channels, all from one platform.
How does ParentSquare send mass notifications to families?
ParentSquare delivers messages through multiple channels, including app, email, text, and voice, based on each recipient’s preferences. This allows messages to reach families in the way they’re most likely to see them.
What are urgent alerts?
Urgent alerts are high-priority messages designed for time-sensitive situations like school closures, safety incidents, or weather updates. These alerts can override user preferences to support immediate delivery.
How quickly can schools send urgent notifications?
Schools can send urgent notifications instantly to their entire community or targeted groups. Delivery begins within seconds across all selected channels for timely communication.
Can ParentSquare target specific groups for notifications?
Yes. Schools can send messages to specific classes, grades, schools, or custom groups, so the right information reaches the right audience without overcommunication.
Does ParentSquare support automated notifications?
Yes. Schools can set up automated notices for events like attendance alerts, reminders, or recurring updates, saving time and maintaining consistency.
Can schools send newsletters and regular updates through ParentSquare?
Yes. Posts and newsletters are at the heart of ParentSquare, giving schools a simple, consistent way to share updates, highlights, and important news with their community. From classroom updates to schoolwide communications, everything is organized and easy for families to access.
How does ParentSquare help ensure messages reach every family?
ParentSquare combines multi-channel delivery, including text, email, app, and voice, with continuously updated contact data to maximize reach. Families can verify and update their own contact information, helping districts maintain accurate records and reduce gaps. The typical ParentSquare district reaches 99.4% of families in their home languages, with tools like the contactability benchmark helping teams identify gaps and work towards 100% family reach.
Are mass notifications translated for multilingual families?
Yes. Messages are automatically translated into 190+ languages, so all families can understand important updates without additional effort from staff.
Can schools track who received and viewed notifications?
Yes. ParentSquare provides visibility into delivery and engagement, so schools can see who received messages and follow up as needed.
How is ParentSquare different from traditional robocall or alert systems?
Unlike standalone alert systems, ParentSquare combines emergency notifications, everyday communication, and engagement tools in one platform, so schools don’t need multiple systems to communicate consistently and effectively.
