Collinsville CUSD 10 has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare.  This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with our district, our schools and you child’s classroom.  

How to I Get a ParentSquare Account?

ParentSquare works with information in our existing Skyward system and 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 utilize the mobile app and choose their preferences on when and how they are notified.  Step-by-step instructions for activating your account can be found here: English OR Spanish.

When you verify/register your account, if the preferred phone number or email is missing or needs to be updated, please log-in to Skyward Family Access to make changes. (Please note: changes will be reflected the next day.) If you have questions, contact your child’s school.

How do I get started using ParentSquare?

Once your account is registered, you will begin receiving notifications using your preferred method (app, text or email) at your preferred time (instantly or daily digest).  If you want have questions about ParentSquare or want to learn more about its capabilities, there are numerous help articles and videos within ParentSquare to assist you.  You can also utilize tech support through the HELP menu.
