Case Study: Brenham Independent School District achieves secure, equitable school-home communication with ParentSquare

Texas District Streamlines School-to-Home Communications with ParentSquare

Brenham Independent School District, a rural Texas district serving 5,000 students, faced a challenge with inconsistent and unsecure school-to-home communications. Their process was fragmented across multiple applications like School Messenger, email, and social media, which offered the district little oversight and created a complex workflow.

The district implemented ParentSquare, a secure communications platform, to consolidate and streamline its messaging. The solution provided oversight, integration with their student information system, and auto-notifications for attendance. Measurable results included a 90% or higher contactability rate across all campuses and a significant improvement in equitable communication, with roughly 50% of parents utilizing the platform's translation features to overcome language barriers. ParentSquare also proved critical for sending emergency alerts during a power outage.
