Case Study: Rockwood School District unifies school-home communications with ParentSquare

Rockwood School District Gets its School-Home Communications onto a Single Platform

Rockwood School District faced the challenge of fragmented and unvetted school-home communications across its 31 schools. This created inconsistencies for parents and data privacy risks, exacerbated by staff using personal tools like Twitter and texts. The district sought a single, secure platform to unify messaging and simplify processes like attendance tracking. They selected ParentSquare as their solution.

By implementing ParentSquare, the district consolidated its communications onto one secure platform. The solution provided direct messaging, automated posts synced with the student information system, and a two-way system for attendance that saved staff time. ParentSquare also replaced a separate secure document system, further streamlining operations. The adoption was highly successful, achieving a 99.7% contactability rate and providing a secure, consistent tool for all staff, including athletic coaches.
