Parents
Parents are one of the most important influences in a child's education and Billings Public Schools is committed to working in partnership with students, parents, teachers and staff to ensure every child realizes his/her full potential.
AUTOMATED CALLS: If you have received a phone call from 406-281-5193, that is our automated RoboCall system. We use this system for district wide notifications including early outs, alternate bus routes, and upcoming events. If you would like the automated call to leave a voicemail, please be sure your voicemail box is set up, and is not full. Please do not leave a voicemail on the Robo Call system phone number. If you have questions, please contact your child's school directly.
PARENTSQUARE: Billings Public Schools uses ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent, using their preferred email address and phone number. We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences on when and how they are notified.
To find links and more information go to the ParentSquare page.
TIPS FOR PARENTS IN A SCHOOL EMERGENCY
❖Everyone’s child is our priority. Adherence to these tips will
help us ensure the safety of all.
❖Because it takes time to gather and disseminate accurate
information, it is likely you will receive social media
information before you receive official communication from
the District. Please don’t overreact, even if that information
comes from your child.
❖Do not call or go to your child’s school.
❖Remain calm and patient. Official communication from our
Superintendent will come via one or more of the following:
● Robo Call
● Email/Text Notification
● District Website
● Television/Radio Alerts
❖If you do hear from your child, please encourage them to
listen to their teachers. Reassure them of their safety.
