Getting Started with ParentSquare

Creative Minds is now using ParentSquare for communications with families. ParentSquare posts replace the messages from our operations, communications, and teaching staff that we usually send by email.

Below you’ll find information for getting started with ParentSquare. Need support? Visit this page for options.

Here’s How to Get Started

In July 2022, new families will receive an email or a text-message invitation from ParentSquare, depending on the contact information that’s in our database. (Find out what to do if you don’t get an invitation.)

Step 1: Activate Your Account

In the email invitation, click or tap the “Activate your account” button. Or tap the “Register” link in the text-message invitation.

Step 2: Enter & Confirm a Password

Enter and confirm a password under “Create a New Account.”

Parents and guardians who already use ParentSquare with another school don’t need to create a new account for Creative Minds. Instead, they should use the “Sign in to Combine Existing Account” link on the ParentSquare registration page and sign in with their existing credentials. Learn more about combining accounts.


Step 3: If Prompted, Confirm Your Information.

Here’s what the prompts will look like:

If You Don’t Receive an Invitation

If you’re a new parent or guardian who didn’t receive an invitation in July 2022, please submit this request form.

Not receiving an invitation likely means your email address and cell-phone number are not in our student-information system. Don’t worry! We’ll make sure that you get signed up.
