Consolidating School-to-Home Communications Tools to Strengthen Family Engagement

Location

Type

The Challenge

Holy Family Catholic Academy faced a common challenge in K-12: relying on a complex patchwork of communication tools and apps to keep families informed and engaged. Without administrative oversight into outgoing communications, the school needed a more streamlined and e ective way for parents and sta to connect.

The Solution

ParentSquare provided the solution—a single, centralized hub for all school-home interactions. Administrative sta now have visibility and insights into communications, and parents have one trusted place to communicate with teachers and staff.

The Outcome

The impact of adopting ParentSquare has been profound. With a contactability rate of 98%, family engagement has soared as parents started receiving timely updates on their children’s education in their preferred language and through their preferred channels of communication. The platform continues to play a vital role in helping to maintain student safety during emergencies—recently enabling the school to quickly mobilize family pickups when a hurricane threatened the island.
