D61 Communications
Darien 61 is using ParentSquare for district and school communications.
We are excited to announce that we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication at Darien School District #61. Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, the district will adopt ParentSquare as the main form of communication. ParentSquare is designed to keep parents informed and facilitate participation at school, and will be used for district communications and alerts. ParentSquare provides a safe way for the district, school principal, teachers, staff, and parents/guardians to:
- Send/Receive District and School Newsletters
- Send/Receive Important Alerts
- Choose to receive information as it comes (Instant) or all at once (daily digest).
- Communicate in your preferred language.
- and much more . . . all in one centralized place!
At first ParentSquare will only be used for district/school wide newsletters and important alerts. The district will then continue to roll out further functionalities throughout the school year.
Below you will find links and information regarding ParentSquare and how to register.
Families and Staff can register and log in below.
Darien 61 ParentSquare Family Registration Request
We understand that some families may not be receiving communications through our ParentSquare platform. We have determined that there is a data sync issue with ParentSquare and Skyward that is causing this. Please know we are working with both 3rd parties to resolve this issue. In the meantime any family that is not receiving communications through parent square for their child can use this form to request to be added to the communications. https://forms.gle/h2FVfpjF4qLL7bAn7
Please know all requests will be processed and verified with current district information. Anyone who requests to be added must also be listed as a verified family/guardian in the district's Skyward database. All other requests that do not meet the districts requirements will be denied. All requests will be processed on a weekly basis. Please allow up to 5 school days for your requests to be processed.
