Updating ParentSquare Notification Settings

ParentSquare allows you to control how and when you receive updates from your school, teachers and KUSD. See below for recommendations and steps for updating your notification settings.

🚨 Urgent Alerts

• You cannot turn these alerts off
• Used for critical, time-sensitive information
• Can be sent regardless of other notification settings

🔔 School Alerts & Smart Alerts

• Keep school and district alerts toggled ON

• Used for time-sensitive information, such as snow days and other important updates

• Alerts can be delivered by text, email, phone call, or all three

📬 Regular Posts and Direct Messages

• Posts contain non-urgent information such as upcoming events and reminders
• Direct messages are two-way communication between parents and individual staff members
• Choose either Instant (immediate) or Digest (once daily easy-to-read notification) 

⭐ Recommended Settings

To receive one daily easy-to-read notification, we recommend using the Digest setting

• Instant: Receive notifications in real time
• Digest: Receive one daily notification containing all updates. 
• Off: You will not receive notifications/updates

If you previously replied STOP to text messages, you can opt back in by:

• Replying START to a ParentSquare text message you previously received, or
• Texting START to 66458
