FAQs & Emergency Alerts
District 3 uses ParentSquare for school communication and emergency alerts via email, text, and app notifications. Notifications will be sent to your contact information in Power School.
ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number from Skyward. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
Emergency Alerts
During emergencies, we work closely with local law enforcement and emergency responders to gather and confirm accurate information to communicate as soon as possible. We understand you are looking for specific details in our communications; by law, we can not release student information or disciplinary action.

ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school. The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time. The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.) Learn more about managing notifications.
-
Parents can update their language preference for their account. Once they have done this, ParentSquare will automatically translate any communication to them in their selected language. This translation will also occur when the parent sends a message to a staff member. Learn more about ParentSquare translations and how to set the language preference.
