StudentSquare (WCHS Students Only)

StudentSquare

[Wahlert Catholic High School students only]

StudentSquare provides for students the same tools ParentSquare provides for parents – two-way communications with teachers, coaches and counselors in a safe and convenient platform.

Upon account activation, students will have access to:

Posts – sent to the whole school, grade level, classes, teams, committees or clubs.
Direct Messages – supporting direct communication between students and their teachers, coaches and counselors without sharing personal contact information.
Alerts – for timely notices such as delays and cancellations.
Additional features such as appointment sign-ups, calendar events/RSVPs, forms, directories, and more.

Like ParentSquare, StudentSquare can be accessed via a web browser or by using the StudentSquare mobile app (available for iOS and Android). And like parents, students can adjust their account preference to receive email, text and/or app notifications, or turn on/off alerts.

StudentSquare will use school-issued email accounts (and cell phone numbers if provided by parents in PowerSchool). Students may request to add a cell phone number in their StudentSquare account under “Edit Account.”
