Case Study: MSD Wayne Township increases community involvement with ParentSquare

MSD Wayne Township Increases Community Involvement by Unifying School-to-Home Communications

MSD Wayne Township, a public school district in Indianapolis serving a diverse community with many English language learner families, faced significant challenges in unifying its fragmented school-to-home communications. The district used numerous disparate tools, which were resource-intensive for staff and confusing for parents, creating barriers to engagement. To solve this, they implemented the ParentSquare platform to streamline all district, school, and classroom communications.

By adopting ParentSquare, which integrated with their Skyward SIS for automatic contact updates and provided robust multi-language support, the district achieved remarkable results. ParentSquare enabled a 98% parent contactability rate, significantly increased teacher-parent interactions, and led to a 100-200% boost in attendance at orientations for English learner families, dramatically enhancing overall community involvement.
