ParentSquare

Stay connected with ParentSquare

MVCTC uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.

An account is automatically created for each parent or guardian using the contact information in our student information system. We encourage you to activate your account to download the free mobile app, set your language preferences, and choose how and when you’d like to receive messages.

What you can do with ParentSquare:

• Receive updates from your school via email, app, or text notification
• Choose to get posts as they’re shared or bundled in a daily digest
• View posts, photos, calendars, and important announcements
• Communicate in your preferred language with automatic translation
• Comment on school posts and stay engaged with your school community
• Send direct messages to teachers and staff
• Participate in group conversations with other families
• Sign up for conferences and school events
• Fill out forms, sign permission slips, make payments, and view report cards—all in one place

Activate your account:

MVCTC will send you an invitation to the email address on file. The message will come from ParentSquare.

1. Open the invitation in your email.
2. Click Activate your account or tap the link in the message.
3. Create a password you’ll remember, then click Register.
4. Check your contact information. If it looks correct, click Confirm.
5. You’ll get a verification code by text or email. Enter the code when asked.
6. If everything looks correct, click Yes, this is me.

Adding a second account:

Follow these steps if your partner school district also uses ParentSquare and you need to add MVCTC.

1. Log in to the First Account: Desktop/Laptop Web Browser.

• Go to parentsquare.com in a web browser and sign in using the partner school district account login credentials.

• Verification: Once logged in, look at the school name displayed near the top header or sidebar to confirm which school account is currently open

2. Add the MVCTC School Account:

• In the top-right corner of the screen, click on the username. From the drop-down menu, select Add another account. In the login window that opens, enter the email address and password for MVCTC.

3. Toggle Between School Accounts: Quick Account Switcher.

• Click on the username in the top-right corner again. The menu will now list both accounts. Click the account name or school view to switch back and forth instantly without entering a password again.

• Verification: The checkmark next to the account name in the drop-down will move to the selected account, and the dashboard feed will update to display messages for that specific school.
