Case Study: The Varnett Public School reaches more parents and saves money with ParentSquare

Charter School District Reaches More Parents & Saves Money with ParentSquare

The Varnett Public School, a three-campus charter school district in Houston, faced a challenge in reaching all parents due to its lack of a centralized school-home communication system. This issue was compounded during the COVID-19 shutdowns, and the district needed a solution that could integrate with its existing Clever resource repository.

The district implemented the ParentSquare platform, which met its requirements for Clever integration and versatile communication options, including phone calls for families without smartphones. As a result, the Varnett Public School achieved about 96% reachability on its communications and saved money by eliminating the need to print and mail physical report cards. ParentSquare also provided a platform for sharing positive news and student achievements, which parents loved.
