Mass Notification System

Community High School District 155 uses ParentSquare for school communication with email, text, and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:

  • Receive messages from the school via email, text, or app notification 

  • Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6:00 p.m. 

  • Communicate in your preferred language

  • Participate in group messages

Student Cell Phone Alerts

If you would like your student to receive urgent safety alerts, school alerts, and bus delay information via text message please update your student’s cell phone number in Skyward Family Access.
 
  • Log in to Skyward Family Access
  • Click “Student Info” in the blue navigation bar on the left
  • Click “Request Changes for Student” on the right side of the screen
  • Click “Student Information”
  • Update your student’s 10-digit cell phone number in the “Student Cell” box and click “Save”
  • If an existing phone number is in the "Student Cell" box and it is NOT your student’s cell phone number, you can highlight it, delete it, and update it with your student's phone number. The previous phone number will still be saved in Skyward and your student’s phone number will be updated. 


StudentSquare will take 24 hours to sync after the phone number is updated and saved before your student will begin to receive alerts. If you have further questions, please email distmail@d155.org
