APS is excited to share that we’ve adopted a new communication platform called ParentSquare to help us keep you better informed and more connected with your school community.
The district’s goal is to improve how families receive information, making it more accessible, timely, and responsive to different needs. With communications automatically translated into families’ preferred languages, and options to receive updates by email, app, voice, or text, ParentSquare supports meaningful engagement across the APS community.
Every family has a unique approach to how they would like to receive information from their school and the district. To set your preferences, register your ParentSquare Account.
From a web browser, access ParentSquare at www.parentsquare.com
Enter your email address or phone number under “Register”
ParentSquare is linked to your Aspen account. If ParentSquare doesn’t recognize your email or phone number, please reach out to your school office to update your contact information before proceeding.
How to Update your Notification Settings
From Home, click your name and select Manage Account.
Click Notification Settings.
Choose your preferred notification settings:
Posts: (school and district newsletters, non-urgent information, and reminders)
Instant: Notifications are delivered as soon as possible after a post is sent. Note: if you’ve downloaded the app, both app and text notifications are set to instant, the post will be sent via Smart Notification Delivery, which prioritizes the app first, then will send to your text message.
Digest: Notifications are delivered in the evening.
Off: If the user selects Off, no notifications will be delivered to this email/phone/app for the school or district. Note: The Off setting is overridden for urgent alerts.
Alerts & Notices: (This is how the school or transportation department will share bus delay information)
On: You will receive all Smart Alerts and Auto Notices from this school or district.
Off: You will only receive Urgent Alerts and Critical Auto Notices.
Urgent Alerts & Notices:
On: Notifications for Attendance notices, Urgent Alerts, and Auto Notices (absences) marked as critical are enabled automatically and cannot be disabled.
Please know that If you choose instant notifications, and have multiple children in multiple schools, that can add up to a lot of messages. Please do what is best for you and your family.
If you prefer to not register an account, we can still reach you! You will still automatically receive important school and district communications through the email address or phone number your school has on file. This includes general updates, urgent alerts, and a daily email digest of recent posts. Please note that without an account, you will not be able to personalize your notification settings, and some post notifications may arrive later than they would for registered users.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students and families.
