Stay Connected: Receive Updates with SMMUSD's Parent Square System

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) transitioned its mass communications system to Parent Square, owned by Aeries, from Finalsite (formerly Blackboard) on Jan. 1, 2025. School administrators provide emails, voice messages, text messages, teacher emails and the option of posting to social media, along with the Parent Square mobile app. We highly recommend you download the mobile app by searching for Parent Square in your app store to fully engage with this system.

 As the official communication system of your school site and the District office, we highly recommend you never opt out of emails from your school or District. Opting out of one opts you out of all. For example, if you opt out of emails from SMMUSD, you will be opting out of emails from your school site as well. Both your school site and the District provide important information and news relative to your students and information for families.
 
If you do not believe you are receiving emails from your school or District, please first check your spam or junk email folder. If you are still not receiving emails, texts or voice messages, please contact your school office to verify information on file and to ensure you are opted in to receiving.
 
Parent Square offers some flexibility on receiving messages. You can access through the mobile app and set your preferences to when you would like to receive messages and more options.
