..
Schools is updating how staff and volunteers communicate with students and families. Moving forward, only approved, traceable, and district-monitored platforms may be used to ensure safety, transparency, and compliance with the law.
Under SB 181, all school-related electronic communication with students must occur through these district-approved systems:
✅ ParentSquare
✅ Google Suite (District accounts only)
✅ Microsoft Email (District-assigned)
✅ Infinite Campus (IC)
? Communication through any other platform is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to:
❌ Facebook
❌ Facebook Messenger
❌ X (formerly Twitter)
❌ Instagram
❌ Snapchat
❌ TikTok
❌ WhatsApp
❌ Text messaging from personal devices
❌ Personal email or other messaging apps
?‍?‍?‍? Families
• Family members (parent, brother, sister, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, or grandparent) and legal guardians who are employees or volunteers are exempt from this policy when communicating with their own children or family members.
? Parents:
You will receive a notice within the first 10 days of the school year listing the specific communication platforms your child’s school will be using, along with instructions for access.
? Coaches & Team Leads:
You will be provided with full details during your July training sessions, including a link and instructions to set up a traceable ParentSquare account for team communication.
