Groups
You will not be able to create groups until student class schedules have been loaded and published into ParentSquare.
Once classes are loaded, classroom, grade-level, and building groups will be created automatically and do not need to be requested. At that point, you will have access to create additional groups that include students within your school building. If you need a group set up before schedules have been published, please email lray@boazk12.org.
Request a Multi-School Group
If you need to create a group that includes students from multiple schools (for example, an 8th grade student participating on a high school athletic team), please submit a Multi-School Group Request using the link below.
