Case Study: Canandaigua City School District achieves unified school-home communications with ParentSquare

Retiring SchoolMessenger, Remind, Bloomz, ClassDojo & Others for ParentSquare

Canandaigua City School District was using a fragmented mix of applications like SchoolMessenger, Remind, and ClassDojo for school-home communications, which lacked cohesion. The district sought a unified platform to streamline communication across its three schools for its 3,300 students.

The district implemented the ParentSquare platform, which provided a unified solution with features for messaging, secure documents, and language translation. ParentSquare integrated with their student information system and replaced all previous tools. The results included significant time and cost savings, lower postage costs, and the ability to monitor data in real-time to make fast decisions, a capability that proved critical during the COVID-19 pandemic.
