Parent Square is a mass communication system that school districts use to communicate district messaging and campus-level messaging. Hutto ISD will utilize Parent Square as its email communication system for the 22-23 school year.

1. Download the App for Android or iPhone
2. Log in using your Shallowater ISD Google Account (Employees) or Parent Portal email (Parents)
3. Verify your Information (you’ll only need to do this once)
4. Set Your Notification Preferences to Instant or Digest (once a day) depending on your preference
5. Set your Language Settings 

The system is now live. Current Staff and Students (6th grade and higher) may log in using their Shallowater ISD Google Account, and Parents using the email account we have for them in Parent Portal. 

• Please verify that your information is current in Parent Portal as ParentSquare pulls information directly from that system. If you have a change to make, you may do so in Parent Portal or contact your school’s secretary. 

• New students to the district will not be loaded into ParentSquare until after the first days of school. ParentSquare updates information nightly. Any changes will be reflected within 24-48 hours.

Please make sure you are using the same email that you use with your Parent Portal account. You can correct or edit information in Parent Portal. After you provide any proof documents the registrar requires, once approved, Parent Portal will sync with ParentSquare and you'll be able to sign in with the same email you use in Parent Portal.

If you add your spouse in Parent Portal, once approved, Parent Portal will automatically sync with ParentSquare at midnight and you will both have access.

If you have questions, check the ParentSquare Parents Guide, Teacher Guide, or Student Guide. For further assistance, please:
