How to Change Your Language Settings

ParentSquare Language Settings

ParentSquare will automatically translate messages sent from Salem schools/teachers into your preferred language.These settings have been imported from our student information system, however, if you wish to modify this you can do so within your ParentSquare account.

After creating your ParentSquare account, you can modify a number of settings based on your individual preferences. One of these features allows parents to set their preferred language for receiving messages. Messages sent from the school will automatically be translated into your selected language. Messages you send to the school can be in your native language and will be automatically translated to the native language of the teacher/school.

This setting can be modified by you at anytime. See the instructions in the boxes included on this page for steps to modify language settings on the mobile app and web portal.
