The student version of ParentSquare is called StudentSquare and it operates the same way as ParentSquare.  Students in grades 7-12 have StudentSquare loaded onto their school-issued Chromebooks. They are also welcome to download the StudentSquare app onto a personal device, if they have one, for communication with coaches about co-curricular activities. ParentSquare and StudentSquare will take the place of all other third-party apps for Oregon School District co-curricular and athletic activities.
