As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, Topeka Public Schools is excited to introduce ParentSquare, our new districtwide communication platform. ParentSquare will provide one secure location for classroom, school, district, athletics, and activity communications, making it easier than ever to stay informed and connected.
As part of the district's implementation of new Kansas legislation regarding electronic communication with students, Topeka Public Schools has identified five Board-approved platforms for staff who work directly with students and families: ParentSquare, Synergy, Google Classroom, Seesaw, and SchoolMessenger. These approved platforms provide staff, students, and families with appropriate ways to communicate while helping the district maintain safe and consistent communication practices.
Through ParentSquare, families and staff will be able to receive messages by email, text, mobile app, or web browser, communicate with teachers and staff, and customize notification preferences. Messages can also be automatically translated into your preferred language.
To get started, families should watch for an invitation from ParentSquare by email or text message. Once you receive the invitation, click Activate Your Account and follow the steps to confirm your contact information and connect your child to your account. If your name is spelled incorrectly, your email address or phone number is incorrect, or a child is missing from your account, please contact your school for assistance.
ParentSquare will be rolled out in phases during the first semester, beginning with secondary coaches and activity sponsors, followed by teachers and other staff.
We encourage you to download the free ParentSquare app or visit www.parentsquare.com. Additional information and training resources will be shared in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we enhance communication across Topeka Public Schools.
