Brownwood ISD has launched a new communication platform, ParentSquare, to simplify how schools connect with families. With one place for messages, updates, forms, and more, the district is consolidating multiple tools into a single, easy-to-use system for both staff and families.

The district’s goal is to improve how families receive information, making it more accessible, timely, and responsive to different needs. With communications automatically translated into families’ preferred languages, and options to receive updates by email, app, voice, or text, ParentSquare supports meaningful engagement across the district’s diverse community.

The platform also reduces the administrative burden on staff by integrating directly with the district’s student information system and replacing manual processes with paperless workflows. Teachers and coaches can communicate with their teams, classes, students, and parents with custom groups, track engagement, send real-time updates, and use one tool instead of managing multiple systems.

Parents and guardians wishing to get logged in and maximize the use of the platform should make sure their contact information is correct in the district’s Parent Portal. Brownwood ISD has created some helpful guides for updating contact information and using ParentSquare:

With the launch of ParentSquare, Brownwood ISD joins a growing number of districts nationwide adopting integrated communication strategies to better connect with families and support student success.
