GCISD uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.
An account is automatically created for each parent or guardian using the contact information in our student information system. We encourage you to activate your account to download the free mobile app, set your language preferences, and choose how and when you’d like to receive messages.
ParentSquare App
For families with Apple or Android smartphones, ParentSquare offers an app to view all communication from teachers, schools and the district. This app provides another avenue to review communication, though it is not required – families can still view communication by phone, email or on the ParentSquare website.
StudentSquare and Apps
At the secondary level, teachers and schools can communicate directly with students in StudentSquare, which is the student-branded version of ParentSquare. The features are nearly identical, providing educators with an easy way to reach students either via one-on-one communication or larger groups. As with ParentSquare, apps for StudentSquare are available on both Apple and Android smartphones.
