ParentSquare

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.

DISMISSAL CHANGE Form

DISMISSAL CHANGES are accepted until 2:00 p.m. (M, T, TH, F) and 1:00 p.m. (W)

EARLY CHECK-OUTS (for any reason) must be completed by 2:10 p.m. (M,T, TH, F) and 1:10 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!
