Communication

ParentSquare

Please be sure that you have activated your ParentSquare account. Important reminders and information regarding school emergencies and events will be relayed through this system. ParentSquare sends emails, texts, and if you download the app (http://parentsquare.com/signin), app notifications too. We recommend enabling text notifications so that you can receive up-to-date information, including notifications when your learners do not log in.

The Monday Message is sent out each week to all who subscribe. It includes upcoming events, pictures of learners, updates, and other pertinent information regarding school activities. 

You can subscribe to the Monday Message by entering your email in our email sign-up window in the footer of our website: empowergenerations.org.

You can also find all of our Monday Messages and other important information archived on our website at empowergenerations.org/monday-messages.
