Unified K-12 school-home communication platform replacing fragmented parent apps for 2M+ families. Santa Barbara CA; raised $200M+; serves districts automating newsletters, alerts, and two-way teacher-parent messaging at scale.
ParentSquare is a unified school-home communications platform designed to replace the fragmented combination of email, robocalls, apps, and paper notices that districts use to communicate with families. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, ParentSquare has raised more than $200 million from investors including Owl Ventures and General Atlantic, and has grown to serve more than 20 million parents across thousands of school districts in the United States. The company's platform consolidates district-to-family communication — including emergency notifications, classroom updates, permission slips, event signups, and two-way messaging — into a single app that families can use in their preferred language.\n\nParentSquare's multilingual capabilities are a key differentiator, with automatic translation supporting more than 100 languages that allows teachers and administrators to send communications that are automatically translated for non-English-speaking families, dramatically improving equity of access for the diverse communities that many districts serve. The platform supports communication at every level — from the superintendent communicating district-wide to the individual classroom teacher sending a note about a homework assignment — with consistent branding and a single app experience for families regardless of which school their children attend.\n\nParentSquare competes with Bloomz, Remind (acquired by ParentSquare), and ClassDojo in the parent communication space, and with broader district communication platforms like SchoolMessenger. Its acquisitions of Remind and other tools have strengthened its position as the most comprehensive K-12 family engagement platform. The company differentiates through its depth of features, multilingual support, integration with student information systems, and the breadth of district deployment from small rural schools to large urban districts.
