ParentSquare

Pinkerton is now using ParentSquare for its mass communications platform. It provides instant translations in 100+ languages and has options for personalization. 

ParentSquare will be used for the Head of School and Associate Head of School updates, report card distribution, snow day notifications, and emergency/crisis communications.

While it is not required, we highly suggest all parents/caregivers: 1) download the ParentSquare app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store, and 2) register your ParentSquare account with the email address that is connected to your student.

Students can download the StudentSquare app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store and connect with their Pinkerton email address.

You Choose How Often You Receive Notifications

Once you have registered your account, you can adjust your notification settings to determine which communication methods you prefer – email, text, or mobile app – and how often you would like to receive these notifications. 

You have three options:
Instant: Receive all messages instantly
Digest: Receive all messages together in one daily communication around 6:00 PM*
Off: No notifications are sent.* You can check the app for notifications at your leisure.

*Regardless of your notification settings, you will continue to receive emergency notifications instantly. This will include snow cancellation messages.

Please note that if you reply “STOP” to opt out of text notifications, you cannot resume receiving text messages unless you text, “START” to 66458.
