ParentSquare’s content management system (CMS) Smart Sites is a powerful tool that is changing the way schools and districts engage with families to improve the lives of students. With Smart Sites, schools can create a strong online presence that reflects their values and priorities and helps build an engaged school community. The CMS fully integrates with ParentSquare communications, creating a single platform to publish directly to website pages and social media channels.
“Effective communication is a key element in building a strong and engaged school community and creating a positive and supportive learning environment,” said ParentSquare President and Founder Anupama Vaid. “Smart Sites offers a streamlined experience for site admins and visitors alike through a rich range of features that helps schools effectively engage families and the wider community. With Smart Sites, districts can easily create accessible, beautiful, and engaging websites that not only keep their communities informed but also strengthen their brand to attract new students, staff, and teachers.”
In 2024, ParentSquare added a new integration to its Smart Sites school website solution, making it quicker and easier to incorporate Canva projects. Educators can now seamlessly add their saved projects from Canva for Education directly to their Smart Sites website without having to leave the ParentSquare platform.
This integration builds on the existing collaboration between ParentSquare and Canva, which in 2023 introduced a curated collection of Canva for Education templates for newsletters, signature blocks, post headers, and more.
