Agenda Item Summary:
|
|
The FY2024 ParentSquare Performance Report includes a summary of progress toward yearly objectives, profiles of ParentSquare account holders and usage data. Overall, verified accounts among parents/guardians have increased by nine percentage points and school-based staff by four percentage points. While messaging and feature use have also increased across all sites, overall use at the secondary level is comparatively lower than use at the elementary level. This points to the need for concentrated staff training and family outreach at the secondary level as well as additional exploration to identify the root causes of the lower use rates. |

Background:
|
|
ACPS launched ParentSquare in SY 2022-23 to encourage a stronger school to home connection. The platform replaced the division’s previous mass notification system and an assortment of communication tools that varied from school to school. ParentSquare became the primary method for school-based newsletters, classroom communications and two-way messaging, conference scheduling, event registration, volunteer sign-ups and staff communication. |
