We would like to announce that Rusk ISD is transitioning to ParentSquare as our new district-wide communication platform. This move will bring all school, district, and classroom communication into one place, making it easier for families to stay informed and connected.

Why we’re making this change

Remind has been acquired by ParentSquare and will be discontinued after June 30. To ensure uninterrupted communication with our families, Rusk ISD is beginning the transition to ParentSquare.

What to expect during the transition

As we begin migrating our communication systems, you may receive notifications, messages, or test communications from ParentSquare. These messages are part of the setup and migration process.

In the coming days, we will send additional information with step-by-step instructions for downloading the ParentSquare app, setting up your account, and getting connected.

We appreciate your patience during this transition and look forward to using ParentSquare to strengthen communication between our schools and families.
