GUSD uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified. 

It is critical that we have correct contact information for you in order for you to receive ParentSquare notifications.  If you need to make a change to a cell phone number or email address on your child's accont, please contact their school site directly.  The District Office cannot make those changes.

Note: ParentSquare for the 2022-23 school year will be active on the first day of school.  Until then, guardians will  not be able to view any new information for their students, including: class schedules and teachers.

Q: When can I expect an invite to sign up for a Parent Square account if my student is new to GUSD?

A: Expect an email with a ParentSquare invite one or two days before school starts.

Q: My child is new to GUSD.  Can you add them to my ParentSquare account?

A: Once we activate Parent Square for the new school year, accounts will update automatically and your child will appear on your account. If this is not the case it is likely that we have incorrect contact information on file for you. Please check in with your child's school for help in confirming your contact information (cell and email). 

Q: How do I set up Student Square or the Aeries student Portal for my child?

A: Your child can download the app on their phone and log in on the first day of school, using the email provided by the school.  

Q: I would like to send my child's teacher a message through ParentSquare, but I can't seem to find who my child's new teacher is.

A: You will be able to message your child's teacher after ParentSquare for the new school year is activated on the first day of school.
