A Change to How You’ll Get Texts From Our Schools

The image shows the ParentSquare logo, which features a four‑color rounded square icon—green, pink, blue, and yellow—arranged like connected tiles. To the right of the icon, the word “ParentSquare” appears in bold, black text.

Soon, many of the text messages you get from our school will come from regular 10-digit phone numbers. This will make it easier to see who is messaging you. For example, a message from your child’s teacher will come from a different phone number than a message from the school office. 

What’s changing? 

Right now, most texts come from a 5-digit number. Soon, you’ll start getting texts from different regular 10-digit phone numbers for: 

  • Direct messages
  • Classroom and group posts
  • School posts 

Messages from the district, digests and alerts will still come from the 5-digit number. 

Here is an example:

What should you do?

When you receive a message from one of these new 10-digit numbers, save it to your contacts. Here are some suggestions:

  • Save a teacher’s number as: Ms. Davis - 4th Grade
  • Save classroom/group posts as: Lincoln Elementary Classes
  • Save school posts number as: Lincoln Elementary Updates
