Vendor partners and sponsors of NCSPRA and School PR Drive Time bring valuable insights and innovations to the market, and also to our podcast. Thank you to ParentSquare for supporting this podcast and the work of our organization in the 2024-2025 school year.
In this chat with Kevin Smith (Orange County Schools), Senior Product Manager Melissa Mertz and Regional Vice President Tom Arcuri lay out the ParentSquare vision for "All Means All" and a truly equitable approach to school communications at every level, from the classroom to the central office. Listen in and share this content to expand your leadership vision of what is possible for school leaders and communicators with an ever-changing and advancing array of tools at your disposal.
- Imagine beyond your existing or future template, to envision a website can do if it evolves constantly to meet your community's needs.
- Consider what schools and families could do with two-way communications not just through another app, but with every email and text message sent by schools and the district translated into each user's language in real time.
- And with ADA guidelines and deadlines both looming large on the landscape, listen in to learn about the far-reaching support available to website designers in 2025 and beyond.
Professional learning is available from ParentSquare to back up all this talk as well:
