Stay connected with ParentSquare

Gilchrist uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.

An account is automatically created for each parent or guardian using the contact information in Skyward. We encourage you to activate your account to download the free mobile app, set your language preferences, and choose how and when you’d like to receive messages.
