Alexandria, VA – Two-way communication is the foundation of strong school-to-home connections. Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) uses ParentSquare, a unified app for school communications, to facilitate communication between families, the division, their schools, and staff.
Teachers, administrators, school social workers, and other professionals use ParentSquare for sharing important information, event invitations, and conference scheduling in your preferred language. Make sure you are ready to communicate with ACPS this school year—it is easy to activate your account and download the app to access all ParentSquare features from the convenience of your phone.
