ParentSquare + Parent Communication Onboarding for Site Directors
ParentSquare is our parent communication platform. All announcements should be made using ParentSquare.
ParentSquare Family QR Code Flyer
Use this flyer to help families quickly connect with ParentSquare and stay up to date on communications from their AlphaBEST program. The flyer includes a QR code families can scan to access ParentSquare.
How to use it: Print and post the flyer near your check-in/check-out area, front desk, family information board, or another visible location. You can also share the flyer directly with families who need help getting connected.

I’d probably place this near the top of the article, after the initial explanation of ParentSquare but before the detailed onboarding steps. It’s one of those resources a Site Director may come to the article specifically looking for.

Communication Expectations
- Parent communication is mandatory.
- Communications should be sent out to all families on a weekly basis, in addition to a monthly newsletter.
- Communications should be sent about program details (e.g., picking up in the gym instead of the classroom, lost and found)
