You can control how and when you want to receive notifications from District 64 and your children’s schools. Choose to receive your emails, texts and app notifications instantly or once a day in the evening (the Digest setting).

• You can only turn on text notifications if we have a working cell phone number on file for you in the PowerSchool ParentPortal and you can only turn on app notifications if you choose to download the app.
• You cannot turn off Urgent Alerts, but these will only be sent in a true emergency situation.
• District 64 staff member sending the message can override the digest setting, and send you a message instantly in situations when the message cannot wait to be received in the evening (such as the cancellation of an after-school event or a delayed bus route).

• User is a staff member and parent: combine staff account with personal parent account to access both with one login. All emails and phone numbers remain associated. Note: Staff must sign in with the email or phone number associated with their staff account.
• Parents share an email or home phone: their accounts will automatically link if they are listed with shared contact information.
• User is missing a student or school from their main account: they have a second account for student or school that can be merged.

To ensure messages from known addresses or domains like ParentSquare don't get moved to your junk email folder, add them to your “Safe Senders” list. This process is often referred to as “Whitelisting”.

• Spam Filters: Email providers have filters to divert unwanted emails, often called “spam.” Sometimes, though, these filters can be too strict and block emails you want to receive.
• Whitelisting: When you whitelist an email domain, you’re telling your email service that emails from that domain are safe and should always go directly to your inbox, not the spam folder.

Follow the instructions below for the email service you use.
