Log into ParentSquare and update your profile under Account Settings. For any administrative changes (custody, allergies, medication, pickup authorization), email admin@peartreecs.com — those changes require a paper trail.

In any emergency or weather closure, we notify families immediately via ParentSquare (push notification, email, and SMS). Make sure your contact info in ParentSquare is current. In a true emergency, dial 911 first, then notify the school.
