FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is ParentSquare Smart Sites?

ParentSquare Smart Sites helps K-12 schools and districts build beautifully branded websites that automatically sync with school communications, creating a unified, engaging experience.

Do I need coding skills to update a Smart Sites website?

No special skills are required. Staff can easily update pages using drag-and-drop tools and pre-approved templates, without tickets, HTML, or technical knowledge. But for more advanced users, many components do offer direct access to HTML if needed.

How does Smart Sites support accessibility?

ParentSquare Smart Sites includes built-in accessibility checks to support WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance, helping every visitor engage with your site. Learn more.

Does Smart Sites translate website content?

Yes. ParentSquare Smart Sites offer built-in translation so families can view your school or district website in their preferred languages. This helps districts provide multilingual school websites that are accessible to families and communities in over 190 languages, so everyone can access news, calendars, and important information.

How will ParentSquare help my district prepare to launch our new website?

You will be assigned a dedicated specialist who will guide you through the implementation. We handle setup and content migration, provide clear timelines, and train your team so you’re confident in managing your new site.

How does Smart Sites help districts manage calendars, news, and social updates across channels?

ParentSquare Smart Sites let districts manage calendars, events, news, and website updates in one place, without duplicating work. Updates created in ParentSquare can automatically appear on the website, and staff can share posts to social media in one step. This keeps your website and communication channels consistent, timely, and easy for families to rely on.

Can Smart Sites help with branding and reputation across our schools?

Yes. ParentSquare Smart Sites helps districts create consistent, modern websites that showcase each school’s identity and tell their story in a clear, compelling way. With flexible design options, districts can highlight what makes their schools unique, showcase programs and successes, and tell a cohesive story that reflects their values and community. This unified online presence supports family engagement and helps districts present a clear, compelling brand that grows enrollment.

What makes ParentSquare Smart Sites different from other K-12 website platforms?

ParentSquare Smart Sites are part of the same platform districts use for daily communication, which means website updates, alerts, and posts can be created once and published everywhere. Smart Sites combine modern design with K-12-specific features, multilingual support, automated content updates, and flexible designs that districts can manage without relying on outside help.

Districts get a website solution built for education, not a generic CMS, making it easier to keep information current, engage families, and maintain consistent branding across every school.
