ParentSquare allows users to customize their notifications based on notification type and select their preferred delivery method for each school.
You can choose between “instant” and “digest” notifications or choose to turn off notifications (excluding emergency alerts and notices).
The “instant” setting will send all posts notifications in real-time. The “digest” setting sends direct messages, alerts, and time-sensitive posts instantly, but sends all non-time sensitive posts at the end of the day, reducing the number of notifications you receive daily.
