Core Platform
The Wisconsin platform for family engagement
Everything you need to communicate, engage, and collaborate with families for student success.
Supporting Wisconsin school districts with family engagement
Wisconsin school districts are adopting the ParentSquare platform to streamline communications, empower administrators and teachers to engage every student’s family, and stay aligned with Wisconsin legislation (WI Act 89 and WI Act 42).
Alignment with Wisconsin Act 89 and Act 42
Wisconsin Act 89 and Act 42 set new expectations for how schools manage communication and student device use. Together, they require clear communication policies, defined methods and expectations, and limits on student device use during instructional time.
ParentSquare supports districts as they implement these requirements by helping bring communication into a consistent, district-managed environment.
Supporting Act 89 communication policies:
- Centralize communication in one district-managed platform
- Provide visibility into communication across staff and volunteers
- Support role-based permissions aligned to district policies
Supporting Act 42 device-use policies:
- Provide a consistent way to share information with families during the school day
- Help reduce reliance on student-owned devices for school-related communication
- Support clear, districtwide communication practices as policies are implemented
“There are so many things in ParentSquare that actually make your life easier. For example, lunch balance and attendance notifications are all auto notices now, so they automatically read with our SIS and go out—there’s very little time or prep needed for that. Things like this have been so beneficial for our parents and our office staff as well.”
