Hilmar High School uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.

ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home.

2 Manage Your Notification Settings

ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school.

The Instant setting will send all post notifications in real-time.

The Digest setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily. (We recommend the Digest setting.)

NOTE: If you register an email and cell phone, the system will set your email as the default notification type. To get notifications from your phone you MUST access the notifications section of your account and choose either instant or digest to turn it on.

(Note: The section on notifications in the video below sarts at the 1:25 mark)
