Skyward & ParentSquare

The two primary platforms families in the Chehalis School District use are Skyward and ParentSquare. Skyward is where you can access useful information while ParentSquare is used as the district’s primary communication system with students and families. All families in our district have access to both systems and should use both systems. This handy guide will help you decide which tool is right for for your use.
