Parents,

Dale County Schools will soon transition from using Remind and SchoolCast to ParentSquare as our primary source of communication with parents and students. ParentSquare will be used to share important school announcements, current events, emergency notifications, reminders, and other school-related information.

Please review the information below for special instructions regarding ParentSquare setup and communication expectations.

Thank you!

• Each child deserves an environment that fosters self-worth and enhances his/her potential.
• Children deserve the opportunity to obtain a strong educational foundation based on reading, writing, and mathematical skills to enable them to become life-long learners.
• Most children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process.
• Faculty and staff need to foster positive attitudes.
• Faculty should actively promote parental involvement in the child's educational process.
