Every month, we have the privilege of partnering with districts and schools across the country to help them launch websites that truly reflect who they are. A school website is often the first place families turn when they need information, and launching a new one is an important milestone.
This past month, several schools launched fresh, accessible, and beautifully designed new websites. Below, we’re excited to highlight five recent ParentSquare Smart Sites launches and what makes each one shine.
