Beginning of the 2024-2025 School Year.

If you are a parent or guardian of a student in Marble Falls ISD, you should have received an invitation email or text to join ParentSquare, and you’ll click a link to activate your account. You can also use your email or phone number to set up your account without the invitation.

Action:

• Go to the parentsquare website. You can also install the ParentSquare app(Available on both IOS and Android devices) and follow the prompts to sign up.

• Use Google single sign-on, your email, or your phone number to set up your account. Your email/phone number must match the contact details you gave the school for this to work.

• If your contact details aren’t recognized, contact your school secretary to get them added. After they update your information in our student information system, the new contact details will appear in ParentSquare after the next daily sync. Then you will be able to create an account.

On the app, enter your email or cell phone number. The email and/or cell phone number should match what is in the school's information system (Skyward).

On the web, click ‘Sign In’, then under ‘Register’ section, put your email or phone number and click '“Go”.

If the email or phone number is not recognized by ParentSquare, parents can follow directions to request access or call the school office and ask them to update the contact information.

Please go to the ParentSquare Website and on the login page click "Forgot Password." Put in your email or phone number and you will be sent a link to reset your password. 

Please check your spam to see if any ParentSquare messages ended up there, and mark them as "Not Spam." Also add donotreply@parentsquare.com to your email contacts so your server recognizes our messages. If you still are not receiving emails, please contact the District Technology Department at 830-693-6497 so we can assist you.

Is the phone number wrong? Do you want to change your primary email? Is your name misspelled? Do you see information for a student who’s not yours?

Action:

Contact the school office and ask for your contact information to be updated. Once they update your information in our student information system (Skyward), the changes will appear in ParentSquare after the next daily sync.

If you are missing a child/school, it may be because:

• Your contact information is inconsistent across the schools' student information systems.

• You have more than one ParentSquare account with different contact information

Action if one account:

• Contact your child’s school to update your contact information. Ensure you have the same email and phone number on file for all children and all schools.

• Your account will be corrected when we sync with the SIS (daily).

Action if multiple accounts:

• Contact your child’s school to update your contact information in the SIS. Verify that each of your children have the same email address and mobile phone number listed for you.

• Delete your ParentSquare user account(s) that does not have the correct email address (choose “Delete” when accessing your account in ParentSquare).

• Your account will be corrected when we sync with the SIS. If the contact information has been made consistent across accounts in the SIS and the ParentSquare account(s) with the incorrect contact information have been deleted, then when we sync, your associations will be pulled into one ParentSquare account.

• If this does not resolve your issue, contact the District’s Technology Department at 830-693-6497
