ParentSquare Resources for Parents
Welcome to ParentSquare, Our New Communication Platform for G-PISD Families!
Gregory-Portland ISD is transitioning from Remind to ParentSquare, a unified communication platform designed to keep teachers, staff, and families connected in one secure place.
ParentSquare allows parents and guardians to:
- Receive all district, school, and classroom messages by email, text, app, or phone call.
- Communicate directly with teachers, classrooms, and school groups through messages and posts.
- Stay updated with school news, alerts, and event reminders.
- View the school calendar, RSVP for events, and sign up to volunteer.
- Securely receive important student documents such as report cards and notices.
Gregory-Portland ISD has fully transitioned away from SchoolMessenger and is now moving from Remind to ParentSquare as our unified communication platform. All teachers and staff will complete their transition to ParentSquare by January 1, 2026. Families will begin receiving all district and campus communication through ParentSquare as this transition continues.
