School Delay & Cancellation Alerts
Parents and guardians will automatically receive delay, cancellation, early dismissals and other emergency alerts.
Other community members may sign up for alerts through the Delay/Cancellation Community Group.
Parent/guardians, staff and HS students do NOT need to sign up to receive these alerts.
In the desktop view, click on your name to access "My Account." Select "Notification Settings" in the left panel to update your for email, text and app notifications preferences.
General Messages
- There are three notification options: Instant, Digest, or Off.
- Digest offers a summary of the day's messages delivered at the end of the day. If a message is important or timely, the sender will override the digest setting to deliver the message instantly.
- Your General Announcement settings will NOT impact alerts.
Alerts
- Alerts (such as school delays and cancellations) are delivered to all users via email, text or phone, and mobile app (if downloaded) as long as alerts are turned ON.
ParentSquare contacts sync from PowerSchool each night. Log in to your Parent PowerSchool account to update your contact information.

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.”
