📣 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.

Today we are proud to recognize senior Josie Murphy and the incredible mark she has made on our Girl’s Golf program!
Throughout her high school career, Josie has proven herself to be an outstanding golfer and an even more remarkable person. She was a member of the 2024 - 2025 4th place in state and the 2025–2026 Class 1 Girl’s Golf State Championship Team and has qualified for and competed at the State Tournament individually each of her first three years!
Josie’s journey has been defined not only by her accomplishments on the course, but also by her perseverance, determination, and strength through challenges along the way. She has continued to compete at an incredibly high level while being a wonderful teammate and person.
Josie, congratulations on an amazing golf career and everything you have accomplished so far. We are so proud of the golfer, teammate, and person you have become. Here’s to a fabulous senior season!
Congratulations, Josie!
