Want to know what's going on in Gunter ISD?
Gunter ISD is excited to announce that we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare.
This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with Gunter ISD. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
Mass notifications and Urgent Alerts
A mobile app (iOS and Android)
Teacher and classroom communication
Direct Messaging with two-way translation
Attendance notification
Social (Facebook and Twitter) and website share
Forms and Permission Slips
Appointment Sign Ups (parent-teacher conferences, etc.)
Calendar and event RSVPs
Volunteer sign-ups
And so much more!
In order to have a ParentSquare account, the user must be listed as a Parent/Guardian in Ascender Parent Portal. If you cannot log in to ParentSquare and are unsure of the information you have on file in Ascender Parent Portal, please contact your campus and they can help you. If updates are made in Ascender Parent Portal, the changes will show in ParentSquare the following day.
All contact information must be updated through Ascender Parent Portal and NOT directly through ParentSquare.
For new students who enroll during the school year, once enrollment is complete in Ascender Parent Portal, ParentSquare will sync with Ascender Parent Portal overnight and create ParentSquare accounts for each person listed as a Parent/Guardian for the student. The following day, the parent can go to ParentSquare.com or the ParentSquare app and register the new account using the email or phone number they have on file in Ascender Parent Portal.
