Summary

Beckemeyer Principal Zach Frailey presented ParentSquare and StudentSquare as the district's single communication hub for teachers, coaches, parents and students to centralize communications.

Beckemeyer Principal Zach Frailey told the board the district will adopt ParentSquare and StudentSquare as the primary platforms for school-to-family and student communications.

Frailey described the platforms as "one place for all communication to be used by teachers, coaches, parents and students," saying the change aims to reduce fragmented messaging and improve outreach consistency across schools. The board heard the presentation as an informational item; the minutes do not record an implementation date, vendor contract details, training schedules, or data‑privacy provisions.

Families and staff should expect future communications about rollout timing and account setup; the minutes do not indicate costs or whether the platforms replace existing systems or operate in parallel during transition.
