| No classes listed for my high schooler in Parentsquare. |
Because the head of IT is a bozo with zero business experience When youre one of the biggest buyers of education tech, you tell them the features you want to see and they make it happen. |
Why wouldn’t MCPS actually tell us to do this? 90 pct of their messages are useless |
This. Canvas, Synergy, ParentVue, Connect Eds, Emails, Texts. It's all too much and now there's a new one? Which I had never heard of before today yet two other parents, who wanted to know my kid's teacher, already seemed to know about it. I'm info-ed out and just don't care anymore. |
They probably will next week or whenever people actually need to use it. If you're just trying to log into something a week or two early to get a look at your kids' teachers, don't complain about there not being adequate documentation shared yet. |

How do you all learned about Parent Square? This is the first I heard of it and I work at MCPS. SMH. Was this buried in some massive email and somehow I missed it?
Also, the teachers are not listed for my kids. (ES). Am I not looking at the right place |
Our principal told us that they were starting to use ParentSquare instead of Remind a few months ago. |
| Someone said the info is not accurate. Why would they put inaccurate teacher info. Doesn’t make sense |
More like not final yet. They could still be rearranging classes until later this week. |
Don’t forget Remind and all the various PTA info and newsletters, too. |
They often enter things a little early but can make last minute changes before it's finalized. If you want a guarantee, wait for the official notification. If you want to get a peek early, then you need to accept that there is a small chance it will change. |
| I really want it to change cause my child did not get her friend at all. |
ParentSquare bought Remind. MCPS ant control that. Canvas is a coursework management system, not a school management system. Synergy is the system that contains ParentVue. You don't use both. Connect Ed is a content/curriculum system, not a parent communication system. Emails and Texts (and Phone Calls) aren't school apps. They are delivery methods apps use. |
ParentSquare is the same as Remind. It's been in use for almost a year already. |
+100 Also if Parent Square is the same as Remind, is this the system that sends me four copies of every message? |
