OVCA’s Communication Platform: ParentSquare

Stories & Spotlights

Say Hello to ParentSquare: OVCA’s New Way to Stay Connected!

At OVCA, we know that strong communication between school and home is key to student success. That’s why we’re excited to introduce ParentSquare, our new all-in-one platform for school communications!

Whether you’re a seasoned OVCA parent or just joining our community, staying informed should be simple—and ParentSquare makes that possible.

What Is ParentSquare?

ParentSquare is a modern communication tool that brings everything together in one place. From announcements and event updates to direct messages and forms, it’s designed to keep families in the loop—without the clutter.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Instant updates from teachers, staff, and school leaders
  • Customizable notifications via email, text, app, or web
  • Built-in translation so messages arrive in your preferred language
  • Secure messaging that protects your privacy
  • Easy access to calendars, sign-ups, and school forms

Why We Made the Switch

We heard your feedback—too many platforms, too many messages, and not enough clarity. ParentSquare solves that by creating a single hub for all school-related communication. It’s intuitive, family-friendly, and built to support our virtual learning environment.

How to Get Started

Getting connected is easy:

  1. Look for an invitation email from ParentSquare.
  2. Download the free app or visit www.parentsquare.com.
  3. Set your preferences and start exploring!

What’s Next?

We’ll be rolling out ParentSquare across OVCA this school year, and we’re here to help every step of the way. Keep an eye out for tutorials, tips, and support resources to make your transition smooth.

We’re excited about this new chapter in how we communicate—and we hope you are too! Let’s make staying connected easier, clearer, and more meaningful with ParentSquare.
