Our calling is to equip schools with technology that uplifts, simplifies, and unites.
Our story
Led by purpose and possibility
The idea for ParentSquare was born in 2011 when our founder Anu, a computer engineer and parent, saw how much easier it was to stay connected to her children’s school while at home. She set out to make that connection possible for every family.
With the help of early school partners, ParentSquare grew from a handful of schools to what is now the preferred solution for millions of students and their families. Today, we’re motivated by the same purpose that inspired us all those years ago: to bring schools and families together so students are better prepared for the future.
Our belief
When families are involved, students thrive
We believe that students do better when families are involved—and schools can’t do it alone.
It takes a village of administrators, educators, parents, and community members working together. Like a modern town square, ParentSquare is the hub that brings this village together.

Our ParentSquare stories
We work with joy every day
Even as our company has grown, our team remains steadfast in our mission to serve schools and families—and have fun while we’re doing it.
“During my daughter’s first two years of school, I saw how deeply human connections shape learning. Teachers who welcomed parents built stronger classrooms. Kids thrived when parents were present and engaged. It reinforced my belief that when schools and families connect, they create a village where students can flourish.”
