“Education is the most powerful weapon for changing the world.”
– Nelson Mandela
Today is Teacher Appreciation Day! This week, our team here at ParentSquare want to take this time to thank all the hard-working teachers and champions who are shaping our next generation. Your work is truly appreciated, even if parents and students don’t always show it. Take some time today to look back and savor your best teaching moments and enjoy the smile that fills up your heart.
Our hope with ParentSquare is to turn more parents into your friends and fans by bringing them closer to the work you do in your classroom, providing you the opportunities to invite and connect with them in so many different ways. Thank you, teachers! We admire you!

How Family and Community Engagement Has Changed Over the Years
Karen L. Mapp, Ed.D., a senior lecturer on education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education provides a glimpse at how approaches to family and community engagement have evolved. Is your district implementing today’s best practices?
“ParentSquare is an integral part of my classroom communication because it helps bridge the gap between busy families and busy teachers! I use it weekly for my Friday Newsletters (which bring families up-to-date on what’s happening in their child’s classroom), event reminders, as well as to request volunteers and materials. This is my favorite feature – now I don’t have to try and follow an e-mail thread to see which parents signed up for what, it’s all right there!”
– Shannon Beaudette, Teacher
