Mohonasen School District is introducing a new communication system, ParentSquare, for the 2024-25 school year.
Parent and guardian invitations to register for ParentSquare have been sent out but you can also get started by watching the Parents – Getting Started video. If you did not receive an email, please contact your student’s building main office.
Families are automatically added to ParentSquare through the district’s student management system and will receive messages from the school or district even if they have not registered their account. However, parents and guardians are encouraged to register their accounts and verify their contact information to participate in two-way communication features, which are outlined below.
To get the most out of ParentSquare, be sure to download the ParentSquare app from your phone’s app store (iOS & Android).

How Mohonasen uses ParentSquare
ParentSquare is a comprehensive platform designed to enhance school-to-home communication and will replace SchoolMessenger, starting this upcoming school year. The type of communication you will receive will depend on the type of situation and the preferences you select when setting up your account.
Posts
Posts are sent via email and also posted within the ParentSquare system, accessible by smartphone app or desktop computer. Users can choose to receive posts immediately or in a ‘digest’ function. Your student’s school can now easily and securely share pictures and files directly with parents and guardians. This feature enables the district to celebrate achievements, share important documents and create a sense of unity.
Email will be the primary form of communication through ParentSquare. Email will be used to communicate school-level and districtwide events that are non-emergency in nature. Emergency alerts will be sent immediately via email in conjunction with other forms of communication (like text messages and phone calls).
Text messages (SMS)
Text messages (SMS) will be used for timely notifications, event reminders, emergency situations or school closings. Only parents who have signed up for text alerts will receive text alerts.
Phone calls
Phone calls will only be used in emergency situations.
