We’re excited to share that we’ve adopted a new communication platform called ParentSquare to help us keep you better informed and more connected with your school community.

With ParentSquare, you’ll receive all school messages in one place. You’ll also be able to:

• Stay up to date on news and events
• Fill out forms and permission slips
• View calendar items, photos, and flyers from RBC
• Choose how you would like to receive communications

 This platform will help to consolidate the following communication platforms RBC currently uses:

• SchoolMessenger
• Finalsite eNotice
• Naviance (communication piece only)

We look forward to sharing this new platform with you! Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your student’s success.

Sincerely,
The RBC Communications Team

2. Sign in to ParentSquare https://www.parentsquare.com/signin using the contact information (email or phone number) that matches the email/phone you provided to the school.
3. Click the link in a post or message.
   Users who did not register previously in response to an invitation, will be asked to register the first time they click on a link to sign in or sign up. For example, if an unregistered parent/guardian receives a post with parent-teacher conference sign ups, clicking the link to sign up for the conference will first lead them through the process of registering their ParentSquare account.
