Mattoon Middle School

📣 Exciting News! We’re thrilled to announce that we’re upgrading our family/communication platform to ParentSquare! 🎉 This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with all six of our schools. 🏫💬 🚀 What’s coming soon? Starting within the next week, we’ll launch ParentSquare in phases, beginning with mass notifications and attendance alerts. ParentSquare offers a safe way for our staff and families to stay connected via text, calls, and emails—all synced through Skyward! Plus, with two-way translation, you can view messages in your preferred language. 🌍📲 📧 Keep an eye out! You’ll receive an activation email within the next week to create your ParentSquare account. If you don’t see it, please check your Spam folder. Those who don’t register will still receive notifications, but creating an account lets you customize how and when you’re notified. 📩 Have questions? Click the link below for more information or email us at communications@mcusd2.com. 💻 mcusd2.org/parentsquare 🌐
