Senate Bill 181 Communication System is ParentSquare

The recently passed Senate Bill 181 is a measure designed to promote student safety and educator protection by ensuring transparency in electronic communications between school employees and students. One requirement of SB 181 is for each school district to determine an exclusive communication system to be used district-wide.

Webster County Schools will use ParentSquare as the exclusive means of electronic communication with students and parents. ParentSquare groups for extracurricular activities have been in use for some time; however, all communication will be transitioned to ParentSquare this summer, replacing other platforms such as Remind and WhatsApp.

More information will be released as this transition occurs and will be updated closer to the start of the new school year. If you haven't downloaded the ParentSquare app, now is a good time to download it from your app store.
