Huntington started using ParentSquare to communicate with parents during the 2021-2022 school year.

Yes. Starting July 1, 2022, the following tools and services will no longer be available for Huntington staff members to use. The functionality of these tools is available in ParentSquare.

• BlackboardConnect
• ClassDojo
• Remind 101
• TalkingPoints

You will still receive communications. All parents have a ParentSquare account. ParentSquare is the primary tool for district and school communication. Individuals who do not activate their account in ParentSquare will still receive an email digest at the end of each day that communication is sent out to them. In the event of emergencies, phone calls will be sent as well.

The Huntington Union Free School District, your school, and teachers use ParentSquare to communicate with parents and guardians. This includes emergency messages as well as information closely related to the school’s educational mission. You will receive notifications via email, text, voice call, and posts from ParentSquare mobile app and ParentSquare portal, depending on the contact information you have in eSchool. Parents are automatically registered to receive notifications when they enroll their student. Please note that standard text messaging rates may apply for all text messages.

To opt-out of receiving notifications, you can:

• Fill out and return the opt-out form to your school office, or 
• Contact your school office with your email and cell phone number
