ParentSquare
New Messaging & Communication Tool

The Hallsville School District is excited to announce that we are partnering with a new communications platform called ParentSquare to communicate with Hallsville families.  ParentSquare is an easy-to-use communication tool that combines multiple communication streams into one easy-to-use interface for families and staff. ParentSquare also syncs with our student information system, SISK12, so all students within your household can be viewed within the app and online.  ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number that is on file within SISK12.  Within the next month, all Hallsville Schools will be transitioning from our current notification system, School Messenger, to the much more robust communication platform, ParentSquare. 

Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare this year.

  • Receive messages from the school via email, text, or mobile app notification 
  • Two-way texting with translation between staff and families
  • Choose to receive information as it comes, or all at once at 6 pm daily
  • Communicate in your preferred language
  • Direct message teachers and staff through a secure and private interface
  • Participate in group messages for athletic, activity, and academic support groups

Hallsville Primary and Intermediate Schools are in the process of transitioning over to this new platform, and soon secondary schools will follow.  You can learn more about ParentSquare here.
