Madison City Schools is changing its systemwide parent-student communication system to a single source platform.
ParentSquare is a unified communications platform that replaces services like Remind, GroupMe and other services and apps used  indiscriminately throughout our school system for sports, clubs and extracurricular activities.
Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols announced the change to notify stakeholders that MCS - from the District level to teachers, coaches and others - will use the single-source messaging service ParentSquare to announce school weather closings and early dismissals, school-level communications and other messaging.

Take the time now to download the app and familiarize yourself to this new communication tool that is now in use systemwide.

ParentSquare is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with Madison City Schools. It provides a safe and convenient way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
* Receive district, school, and class information including weather closings, delayed openings and early dismissals, as well as school-level matters.
* Share pictures and files
* See calendar items
* Sign up to volunteer
* Schedule parent-teacher conferences
And much more… all in one centralized place!

With everything in one place, families will no longer need to manage multiple communication tools to stay connected with what’s happening at their school(s).

All district, school, grade-level, and classroom information will be sent to your computer and/or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).

This update is for informational purposes only regarding this new communication platform for the 2025-2026 school year. More information will be shared before the start of the school year.
