📣 Parents & Guardians — It’s Time to Get Connected!
We’re making the switch to ParentSquare! 📱

Lewis County C-1 School District is transitioning from Apptegy/Thrillshare to ParentSquare for our district, school, classroom, and group communications — along with our new district website.

What do you need to do? Just TWO things! 👇

1️⃣ REGISTER YOUR PARENTSQUARE ACCOUNT
Watch for an email or text from ParentSquare using the contact information we have on file.

Open the invitation, click “Activate your account,” and follow the steps to register. Be sure to confirm that all of your students are connected to your account.

2️⃣ DOWNLOAD THE PARENTSQUARE APP
Once you've registered, download the free ParentSquare app and sign in using your new account.

📱 iPhone & Android
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Make sure you can see your student(s)
💬 You'll then be ready to receive messages from your schools and teachers.

🔄 WHAT HAPPENS TO THE THRILLSHARE APP?
ParentSquare will eventually replace our current Thrillshare district app. The information families currently access through Thrillshare — including district news, school information, announcements, events, and more — will transition to ParentSquare.

As teachers and schools create their ParentSquare groups, you'll begin receiving those classroom and group messages through ParentSquare — similar to how you have used Remind.

Our Goal: EVERY FAMILY CONNECTED!
Please watch for your invitation and take a few minutes to get registered and download the app.

Meet Courtney Brennan, representing Canton R-V!

🏫 Representing: Canton R-V
👕 Jersey Number: #25
📏 Height: 5'11"
🎯 Position: TBD

We asked Courtney a few very important questions so you can get to know the Big Cats before they take on the Harlem Wizards!

🏀 Basketball Experience: 4 years of NCAA Division II basketball with the Quincy University Lady Hawks!
🔥 Favorite Basketball Team/Player: “I don't really have a favorite. I just like to watch.”
😂 Worst Basketball Skill: “Making it up the court!!”
🌮🍝 Favorite Food: Mexican or pasta
🤣 Who is most likely to embarrass themselves during the game? “All of us!! The question is, who will embarrass themselves the most?!”
🏀 Prediction for the Game: “Winner... or how many people get hurt??” 😂

Four years of college basketball experience means Courtney may actually know what she's doing out there... assuming she can make it up the court. 😏🏀

Come see Courtney and the rest of the Big Cats take on the HARLEM WIZARDS for a night of basketball, laughs, and probably a few sore muscles!

📅 October 26
⏰ 6:30 PM
