Do I have to verify my account?

Yes. This is an important step to ensure ParentSquare works correctly. Often, parents who have trouble with ParentSquare have not verified their accounts. This also serves as a safeguard to ensure we are sending the right information to the right person.

You can view, confirm or suggest corrections to your email and phone number and confirm the students in your account. If you are both a staff member and a parent, you can now combine accounts.

Update Apps: Check for updates to your iOS or Android ParentSquare mobile app to ensure you have the latest version installed.

Sign In: Use the email or phone number in your Skyward account to sign into ParentSquare. If you forgot your password, select "reset password." Snyder ISD cannot look up passwords in ParentSquare like we can for Skyward.

Confirm: Next, confirm your contact information and the students assigned to your account as directed. You will see something similar to this screenshot* when you log in.

Combine Existing Accounts: If you receive an invitation email or text, this may mean that you have more than one account. Please open the invitation and click the link, "Sign in to Combine Existing Account." You can also combine accounts later in My Account settings.
