Parent Portal
ParentSquare keeps you connected.
AEA uses ParentSquare as the single hub for school communication. Every family receives an invitation at the start of the year.
In ParentSquare you can read classroom and school messages, view your child's grades and progress reports, sign permission forms, report absences, and sign up for conferences. Notifications are available in your preferred language and by email, text, or app. If you need an invitation or help logging in, contact the front office and we will get you set up the same day.
