ParentSquare
Stay connected with ParentSquare

One of Clear Creek Amana's key goals is strengthening partnerships between schools and families through consistent, two-way communication. To support that goal, the district uses ParentSquare and StudentSquare (for students in grades 6-12) as its official communication platforms. Together, they provide a convenient, secure and accessible hub for district, school, classroom, activities and athletics communication, with built-in translation to help families stay connected in their preferred language. Available on a mobile device or computer, these tools make it easy to receive updates, exchange messages and stay informed.
