ParentSquare Communications
Citrus County Schools uses ParentSquare to keep families connected!
This unified platform is how we share important school and district communications — including updates by email, text, and app notifications.
ParentSquare automatically syncs with our Student Information System, creating an account for each parent using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage all parents and guardians to log in, download the free mobile app, and update their notification preferences to stay informed in the way that works best for them.
ParentSquare provides a safe, secure, and modern way to communicate and collaborate between school and home.
📱 Tip: Download the mobile app to easily view posts, events, sign-ups, photos, and files — and don’t forget to enable notifications so you never miss an important message from your child’s school or the district!

On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. The email and/or cell phone number should match what is in the Skyward database.
On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under the ‘Register’ section, put your email or phone number and click 'Go'.

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.
-
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.
