Yes, family members can share an email or phone number and yet have different accounts. However, if one account is a staff account, it can only be accessed with a staff email/phone.

If you are using the same email/phone and password or Google Sign In, when you sign in, you will select your own name.

Each contact (staff or parent record) has only one email and phone associated with it. A parent account can have multiple contacts, with multiple emails and phone numbers, if they have different emails/phones for each child in the school database or across districts. Staff who are also parents can have multiple emails/phones. After verifying your contacts, you can set your preferred order of contacts in which to receive notifications.

We have contacted ParentSquare, and we expect this function to be updated this school year. Stay tuned for more information! In the meantime, staff will need to sign in using their staff contact information. If they enter their (shared) parent contact information, they will get this message: "The email/phone you entered is linked to a staff account, but is not your staff email/phone. Please use your staff email/phone.

You are ONLY allowed to add an email or phone if one does not exist. Otherwise, you can only edit existing emails/phones.

For security purposes, email and text verification codes are only valid for 10 minutes after they are requested. If you need another code, click Resend Code. If you request a new code, the previous code(s) will still be valid for those 10 minutes.

Log in to ParentSquare through the browser version, click on your student's name, and use the "X" to remove the current image. Then, upload a new, updated photo.
