Parent Portals
ParentSquare
ParentSquare will serve as our unified communications platform, bringing district, school, classroom, athletics, and extracurricular communications together in one place. ParentSquare will be the primary communication tool across HCS.
Getting Started
How to Set Up Your Account
Your school will send you an invitation by email or text once you’re registered in the system.
- Look for an invitation from ParentSquare by email or text (check spam/junk folders if you don’t see it).
- Click the link in the invitation.
- Create your password. Use the same email or phone number the invite was sent to.
- Confirm your name and your child’s information if asked.
- Once you’re set up, log in any time at parentsquare.com or through the free ParentSquare app (search “ParentSquare” in the App Store or Google Play).
If You Are Both a Staff Member and a Parent
If you work for HCS and also have a child enrolled, check which email is listed on your child’s account. If it’s different from your work email, your child’s information won’t automatically show up when you log in with your work account.
- Log in to your staff ParentSquare account as usual.
- Also, log in (or create a login) using your personal email — the one listed on your child’s school account.
- Look for the option to merge accounts.
- Once merged, you’ll be able to see both your staff information and your child’s school updates from one profile.
What to Expect
Once you’re logged in, a few main areas make up the platform:
- HOME — Your feed of posts, photos, and updates from your child’s school and teachers
- GROUPS — A list of the groups you belong to (like your child’s class or a school club)
- Messages icon — Where private conversations with the school appear
- Your Name (top right) — MANAGE ACCOUNT, where you set notification preferences
PATH: Click your name in the top right corner → Manage Account to reach your personal settings at any time.
Need Help?
If you ever get stuck, help is built right into ParentSquare.
PATH: Click the question mark (?) icon in the top right corner of any screen
- Training — short videos that walk you through features
- Help Articles — written step-by-step instructions
If you can’t find what you need there, reach out to your child’s school office — they can help directly or connect you with the school’s ParentSquare admin.
Aristotle K12
The AristotleK12 Parent Portal is designed to give parents an additional insight into how their student is using their school-issued device and to provide tools for managing internet access at home.
Getting Started
How to Set Up Your Account
You will receive an email inviting you to set up your Parent Portal account. Setup takes only a minute, and your account will automatically be connected to your student or students.
Once your account is set up, you’ll have access to several tools and reports. Let’s take a quick look at what you’ll find in the Parent Portal.
What to Expect
With the Parent Portal, you can:
- View your student’s daily internet activity.
- See websites and online content that have been blocked.
- And, for students who take their Chromebooks home, manage internet access outside of school hours by blocking specific websites or blocking all internet access.
