Parents and guardians will continue to receive messages through their preferred method, including text message, email, or the ParentSquare app, with support for multiple languages.
The school district says additional information about setting up accounts and using the new platform will be shared with families in the coming weeks.

Parents interested in registering a child, along with anyone willing to volunteer as a soccer coach, should contact the Trion Recreation Department before the August 5 deadline.
