Introducing ParentSquare – Our New School Communication Platform

Dear GSST Families,

We’re excited to share that we’ve adopted a new communication platform called ParentSquare to help us keep you better informed and more connected with your school community.
With ParentSquare, you’ll receive all school and classroom messages in one place—translated into your preferred language and delivered by email, text message, mobile app, or web. You'll also be able to:

• Stay up to date on school news and events
• Send and receive messages with teachers and staff
• Sign up for conferences and volunteer opportunities
• View school calendars and photos

All school, grade-level, and classroom communications will now come through ParentSquare.

Attached to this message is a ParentSquare Getting Started Guide with step-by-step instructions for accessing the platform, creating your account, and downloading the mobile app. Family account invitation emails will be sent next week, so we encourage you to review the guide now to help make the setup process quick and easy.
To get the most out of ParentSquare, we recommend downloading the free mobile app, available for iOS and Android. You can also access ParentSquare from any web browser at www.parentsquare.com.

Important: To ensure you receive all school communications, please save and avoid blocking the following numbers:

• Text messages: 66458
• Phone calls: 757-766-1100 or 757-874-4444

Adding these numbers to your contacts will help ensure you don't miss important school updates and emergency notifications.

Once your account is activated, you'll be able to customize your notification preferences so you receive updates in the way that works best for you.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your student's success. We look forward to using ParentSquare to strengthen communication between home and school.
