ParentSquare is the district’s new two-way communications platform that provides instant translations in 100+ languages. It has been launched in all St. Johns County School District’s schools.
ParentSquare is used for items such as newsletters, snow day notifications, group chats, calendars, report cards, volunteer sign-ups and more. ParentSquare is now used for districtwide newsletters and announcements along with two-way communication.
While it is not required, we highly suggest all parents/caregivers:
1) Download the ParentSquare app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store.
2) Register your ParentSquare account with the email address that is connected to your student in Home Access Center (HAC).

Families who have not yet logged in to the BusPlanner website or the Chipmunk app are strongly encouraged to create an account before the end of the school year.
This will help ensure that you are able to access your child’s 2025-2026 bus schedule for the 2025-2026 school year.

In an ongoing endeavor to provide safety and security for students and staff, school access is required for every individual that is not a staff member of the St. Johns County School District. This is done through completion of the district’s Volunteer Application. Whether an individual is volunteering in some capacity or simply visiting a student or staff member/s for a meeting or presentation, completion of the application is required.
Complete the School Access Volunteer Application.

FortifyFL is a suspicious activity reporting tool that allows any student, educator, parent or member of the public can report school safety concerns directly to law enforcement and school administrators
anonymously and easily through the FortifyFL app or at https://getfortifyfl.com/


DISMISSAL CHANGES are accepted until 1:50 p.m. (M, T, TH, F) and 12:50 p.m. (W)
EARLY CHECK-OUTS (for any reason) must be completed by 2:00 p.m. (M,T, TH, F) and 1:00 p.m. (W).
Your respect for our dismissal policy helps maintain safety and security as we complete attendance/dismissal change/check-out reports accurately before students prepare for and move to their dismissal stations. It is often very difficult to locate students or get them ready to leave early during the last minutes prior to dismissal bell. Teachers and students are completing lessons, packing up, or on the move to dismissal stations.
Thank you for your understanding and compliance as we work together for all students’ scholastic success!
