Case Study: Danville Community School Corporation expands family and student communications with ParentSquare

Indiana school district expands reach and oversight after implementing ParentSquare with StudentSquare for two-way communications

Danville Community School Corporation, a public school district in Indiana, faced a challenge with its outdated, one-way communication system. Their previous solution, which relied on a student information system, only allowed for plain text messages and offered no interactive features or administrative oversight, leaving staff and student communications insecure. Seeking a more modern and engaging platform, the district selected the ParentSquare all-in-one communications platform.

By implementing ParentSquare, the district unified its school-home communications onto a single, secure platform. ParentSquare provided the ability to send engaging messages with images and fonts, offered full administrative oversight with archived communications, and introduced a private commenting feature that allowed staff to address concerns directly. The connected StudentSquare app extended these secure communications to students. As a result, engagement improved as parents were more likely to open the visually appealing messages, and the communications team gained the ability to quickly resolve issues. ParentSquare provided a safer, more interactive, and modern solution for the entire district.
