It is recommended that each spouse have their own cell phone or email for emergency situations. However, if you and your spouse share an email address (or have provided the same email address for each of you in our parent contact records, only one spouse will be able to log in to ParentSquare using that email address.  The other spouse should use their cell phone number to log on or contact your school office to add an additional email address.

ParentSquare is the main source of communication for the district and schoolwide communication.but not all teachers are currently using it for classroom communication. Please speak with your teacher for more information.

Yes, parents and guardians can contact their child's teacher privately by using the direct messaging tool. On the home page, click on "Messaging" in the left sidebar. From here, you can send a direct message to your child's teacher that only you and the teacher can see. Ask  your teacher if you have questions.

ParentSquare will notify those contacts listed as a Primary Parent, Parent, Guardian within Skyward Family Access.  ParentSquare is an all-in-one platform that contains personally identifiable information for each student, therefore, we only engage with those designated contacts.

No. Sharing a password will allow a user to see personally identifiable information about the student. Since ParentSquare is an all-on-one tool, the information an end user would see would be attendance notifications, lunch balance information, direct messages, and report cards. Family members and community members are welcome to subscribe to our district newsletter and social media pages at www.ohsd.net/News.

No. Each contact has the functionality of creating their own private account. They will, however, see everything related to the shared student. They will NOT see contact information on the other parent.  

No. ParentSquare is not the main source for classroom assignments. However, teachers can utilize the platform to remind families and students on due dates if they choose. 

 It can take up to 24 hours for your contact information to be synced from Skyward to ParentSquare.

No, but you will not be able to customize communication to your preferences. If you do not do anything in ParentSquare, you will still receive communication as normal from the district and your school sites.
