ParentSquare Launching 10-Digit Phone Numbers for Texts

Posted Date: 02/12/26 (11:57 AM)


Starting on Thursday, February 12, many of the text messages you get from our school will come from regular 10-digit phone numbers. This will make it easier to see who is messaging you. For example, a message from your child’s teacher will come from a different phone number than a message from the school office. 

What’s changing? 

Right now, most texts come from a 5-digit number. Soon, you’ll start getting texts from different regular 10-digit phone numbers for: 

  • Direct messages
  • Classroom and group posts
  • School posts 

Messages from the district, digests and alerts will still come from the 5-digit number. 

What should you do?

When you receive a message from one of these new 10-digit numbers, save it to your contacts. Here are some suggestions:

  • Save a teacher’s number as (for example): Ms. Davis - 4th Grade
  • Save classroom/group posts as (for example): Weeks Elementary Classes
  • Save school posts number as (for example): Weeks Elementary Updates
