How to Complete and Sign a Form

The district uses ParentSquare as its mass communication system to keep parents informed and involved in their school community. A helpful tool our schools use is the forms feature to digitally capture a parent/guardian’s acknowledgment of a handbook, technology agreement, permission to participate in a special event or field trip, etc.

Below are a few troubleshooting tips if you are experiencing an issue. Be sure you are logged in to your account before you begin.

Forms can be found by going to your home screen and finding the “Participate” section, then “Forms/Permissions.”
