Hey Players - For the 2025 season, an app called ParentSquare will be our primary method to communicate with players.  They bought Remind, which we used to reach out to you the last few years.

​

From what I can tell, the school's rollout of ParentSquare has not been informative for students.  Everything about it seems like something only your parents need.  BUT - it is the only tool that coaches are allowed to use to communicate with you.  We can't text, can't use Remind, can't email you....  We must send things through ParentSquare, and we plan to use it for just about everything this season.

​

So, all players will need to be on ParentSquare to receive timely communications, like if practice is canceled or moved.  We will be also be using it in the near future for things like pre-season practices, notifications about the pre-season meeting.  So, if you aren't using it yet, we'd like it if you would join soon.

​

Other things to know:

• As far as we can tell, notifications will go to the app.  So you need it.  I'm hoping that the stuff below is obvious.  But, while they have instructions for parents to set it up, they don't have any for students.  You are all smart people who are good with phones, so I'm guessing you'll be able to figure these things out.

  • How do you link it to yourself?  Todd's guess would be registering with your school email address.

  • Make sure you get notifications instead of having them go into the void

  • Check to see if you are part of the girls tennis group.  All members of the 2024 team SHOULD be on it already.

  • Check if you can set it so that it sends you a text message so you are more likely to see it

• If you don't have a phone, I'm guessing notifications also can (or do) go to your school email address

• When you have something to ask or tell a coach, it needs to go through ParentSquare.  Please don't text us or DM through Instagram - we can get in trouble for that.

​

Thanks everyone!
