Communications

Parent communications are delivered in the preferred language, as indicated at the time of enrollment through Lakota's Welcome Center. This preference cannot be altered in Home Access Center. Please contact your child's main office to request a change through the school's data specialist and to ensure ALL communications are translated appropriately. 

ParentSquare updates and alerts are automatically translated into parents' preferred languages. However, you are able to reset your language preference in your ParentSquare account settings. 

General, community-facing communications, like a school's e-newsletter for example, will be shared beyond a building's associated staff and parents. Community members who have subscribed to a specific building's communications will also receive these types of updates.

If you are not a Lakota staff member or the parent/guardian of a current student, please visit our ParentSquare Community Groups webpage. Subscribe to community-facing updates via phone, text and/or email like weather closures/delays, general district or school announcements and bid opportunity alerts. You are also invited to subscribe to the District's or schools' regular community e-newsletters.

Lakota parents/guardians and staff who wish to subscribe to another school's e-newsletter can manage their e-news subscriptions by logging into Lakota's website and selecting "Notifications" from the upper left menu. You are also welcome to join other public groups within your ParentSquare account to receive other schools' community-facing updates and announcements. 

As a parent, you will automatically receive parent-specific communications from the school(s) your child(ren) attend, using the contact information updated in FinalForms via your parent Lakota OneLogin account. The information appearing in your Home Access Center account is the current information Lakota has on file for you.

Similarly, you will automatically receive staff-specific emails at your district-issued email address from the District or school(s) at which you are employed. You can add a phone number for staff communications by logging into ParentSquare via OneLogin. Navigate to “My Account” under your name in the top right corner. Select “Edit Contact Info.” to review any staff phone number on file for receiving staff-directed school and district calls and text messages. Select “Edit Account,” then “Add” next to “Cell Phone” to submit a new number. Please note that changes to your parent contact information must still be made through FinalForms.

When you log into ParentSquare via either account, you may be prompted with the option to merge both accounts. This simply means you will be able to have both your staff contacts and your parent contacts linked to the same account. Learn more about the process for merging staff and parent accounts.
