Students & Parents
Dayton Public Schools places great importance on consistent communication with parents and staff. ParentSquare is a safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication that allows the district and individual schools to send robocalls, text messages, emails, and written “posts,” which might include newsletters or written reminders.
A ParentSquare account is automatically created for each parent using their preferred email address and mobile phone number on file at the school. Parents are encouraged to register and access their ParentSquare accounts so that they can set notification preferences.

Inform your teacher, principal or call your school's main office if there is a change or if you are not receiving communication from your school or the district.
2) Register your ParentSquare account
You may sign up through the email invitation you may have received through ParentSquare or you may sign in to ParentSquare using your contact information (email or phone number) that is on file for your student at their school.

Getting too many calls? Don't want texts? Once you are registered, you can change your notification settings to fit your needs. You may also change your language settings to fit your needs.
