ParentSquare allows users to select their preferred notification delivery method.  When a message is posted, users have the options to get an email, text, and/or app notification.  Users can also decide if they want an instant email each time or a digest email that comes at 6:00 pm with all the messages for the day.

Here's how to set preferences for notifications:

  1. Click on the 3 lines icon in the upper left corner.
  2. Select preferences.
  3. Click on Notification Settings.
  4. You can create several preferences here.
    • Select or unselect your choices for receiving messages.
    • You can also choose to receive instant emails or one email digest at the end of the day (text messages and app notifications are always instant).
    • To change app push notification settings, click on “Tap to view/change push notification settings.
