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.

+100 Also if Parent Square is the same as Remind, is this the system that sends me four copies of every message?

ParentSquare is the same as Remind.

It's been in use for almost a year already.

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.

I really want it to change cause my child did not get her friend at all.

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.

Don’t forget Remind and all the various PTA info and newsletters, too.

More like not final yet. They could still be rearranging classes until later this week.

Our principal told us that they were starting to use ParentSquare instead of Remind a few months ago.

Super easy to set up account.

Why wouldn’t MCPS actually tell us to do this? 90 pct of their messages are useless

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.

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.

No classes listed for my high schooler in Parentsquare.
