Banning Unified School District is committed to fostering strong partnerships between schools and families. To support timely, consistent, and inclusive communication, the District uses ParentSquare—a secure platform that streamlines communication between school staff and families across all schools.

ParentSquare is a comprehensive communication tool that allows the District, schools, and teachers to send messages to families in a consistent and centralized way. It combines various communication methods—such as email, text, and app notifications—into one platform, helping families stay informed and engaged with their student’s education.

With ParentSquare, families can:

• Receive school and district updates by email, text message, or mobile app.

• Communicate directly with teachers and staff.

• View calendars, newsletters, and important reminders.

• Sign forms, give permission, or RSVP to events online.

• Choose a preferred language to receive communications.

• Customize notification settings based on preferences.
