Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, Bryan City Schools is using ParentSquare for all school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications.
ParentSquare has replaced all communication tools currently being used, and is the single place for all school communication. This includes school delays and cancellations, classroom communication, athletics, and more.
ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their information that is currently in PowerSchool. We encourage parents to download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
Students at Bryan MS/HS can use the StudentSquare app as well to connect with coaches and teachers.
Here’s what you can do with ParentSquare:
Receive messages from the school via email, text or app notification;
Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6pm;
Communicate in your preferred language - all translations happen automatically;
Direct message teachers and staff;
Sign forms & permission slips, receive report cards, sign up to volunteer and more.
All current parent/guardian contacts should have received a ParentSquare invitation in their email. Please review the information to set up your account. If you didn't get an email, or need to correct your email address, please reach out to your building office.
Please make sure you set your language and notification preferences once you sign in to your account. There are links below to help you with these settings. By default, you will receive a digest email of all notifications daily at 6pm. It is recommended that you keep this setting to avoid being overwhelmed by notifications throughout the day. All school delays and cancellations and other urgent messages, along with all direct messages, will be sent immediately, even if you have notifications set to digest.
BCS has created a Community Group in ParentSquare called School Delays & Cancellations for Community Members. This group is exclusively for community members who are NOT current BCS students, parents of current students, or staff members.
This group is designed to keep individuals such as babysitters, Lifewise bus drivers, substitute teachers, and grandparents informed about school delays and cancellations.
Additionally, a second Community Group has been created for those non-parent/staff/student community members who would like to receive our monthly district updates.
Current BCS students, parents, and staff members should NOT join either of these groups, as you will already receive this information directly through your existing BCS communication channels.
If you are not a BCS student, parent, or staff member and wish to join one or both of these groups, please click here or scan the QR code.
