How ParentSquare Works

 

Providing up-to-the-minute accurate information in emergency situations is extremely important. NPSD uses a software program called ParentSquare to send messages to specified telephone numbers and emails of your choice within a matter of minutes.

Examples of when ParentSquare is used include school closings due to power outages, security threats, or early dismissals in the case of bad weather.

NPSD will continue to use NPTV, www.npenn.org and local media outlets for public communication.

It is important that you make sure your contact information is up-to-date and accurate by notifying your school office when changes are made. This will enable the district to disseminate information to all of its families and staff members in the most time efficient manner possible. 

All phone number updates must be completed through Infinite Campus. All information is uploaded to ParentSquare every night directly from Infinite Campus. It may take 24 hours until the update from Infinite Campus is shown in School Messenger.
