Stay connected: what you need to know about district communications
Bethel Park School District uses ParentSquare to deliver district-wide announcements, school updates, event reminders, and emergency alerts through email, text message, and the ParentSquare app. The system syncs nightly with Focus, the school district's student information system. If you ARE receiving messages from the district, no further action is needed. Conversely, if you believe that you ARE NOT receiving district communications, please contact your child's school to ensure your information is accurate in Focus.
