parent square
We are excited to announce that ASA has adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with ASA. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:
 
  • Send and receive school and class information
  • Share pictures and files
  • See calendar items
  • Sign up to volunteer
  • Schedule parent-teacher conferences
  • and much more . . . all in one centralized place!

 
All district and school, grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). 
 
Have questions? Click the question mark in the top right corner of the desktop version or the Help tab on the app (tap the triple bar icon at the top left) to find answers to most of your questions.

We hope that these updates will simplify communication and create a more seamless experience for all of our families.

We’re excited to have your child with us this session! Here are a few quick reminders:

✍🏻 Waiver Required : If your child was invited to participate, please complete the waiver on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. This is needed for them to participate.

⏰ Dismissal Time: Pick-up is at 4:05 p.m. After two late pick-ups across any club or session, we may have to pause your child’s club participation for the rest of the year.

🌟After-School Competitions: To participate in any after-school competition, students must attend the regular school day.

🛑 Please avoid parking on C street during club dismissal time, as it disrupts the car line and causes delays in the dismissal process.
