Is your ParentSquare information correct?

Be sure to read instructions for your PowerSchool contact information, which syncs with ParentSquare.

Don't forget that our district, schools, and classrooms will be using ParentSquare for mass/group communication this year. ParentSquare is our mass messaging tool and replaces previous platforms like Class Dojo, Remind, Bloomz, TalkingPoints, etc.


We encourage families to download the ParentSquare app. It allows you to set communication preferences and stay up-to-date on information from your child's school and teachers. Simply log in using the email or phone number you provided at registration.

CPHS senior Reese Jones is interning this year with the Lake County Coroner. Reese is considering a career as a mortician. Yesterday the coroner's office allowed her to observe five autopsies and even gave her a certificate that said "I survived my first five autopsies." Now Reese knows she has the stomach for her future career plans! She is one of 286 CPHS students who are participating in an internship for the 23-24 school year.
