While phone and email are still vital channels of communication, Hope High School Online will also communicate with parents/guardians/students through the ParentSquare platform. This platform allows HHSO staff to send/receive text messages and general newsletter posts. Our goal is to keep you informed and to continue supporting every students’ high school journey. 

• Receive updates from HHSO via email, app, or text notification
• Choose to get posts as they’re shared or bundled in a daily digest
• View posts, photos, calendars, and important announcements
• Communicate in your preferred language with automatic translation
• Comment on school posts and stay engaged with your school community
• Send direct messages to teachers and staff

When communication is sent as a text, users will receive this just as they do any other texts to their phone. Users can reply to the text to continue the conversation with school staff. 

When communication is sent as a general post, users will receive this in their email. 

ParentSquare makes communication seamless through the web and/or a phone app, although this is not required.
