‘Parent Square is the communication tool for BCSD. It will be used for school-wide communications, district communications, emergency alerts, and more.
You should have received an email link to join. If not, please reach out to parenttechsupport@bcsdny.org. There is also an app available.
The Synergy parent portal, ParentVUE, will give you access to grades, attendance and other data about your child or children. You will be able to see records for all of your children with this single log- in. Please note that the BCSD app is no longer connected to our student information system, and that the parent portal is no longer active.
If you are having technical difficulties accessing ParentVUE, please send an email to parenttechsupport@bcsdny.org. Questions about the contents of ParentVUE should be directed to your child's school. There is also an app available.
School dismissal manager is the way to communicate dismissal information for your child. Please log-in and check that your child's default information is correct. Daily dismissal can be updated as needed if your child will be a pick-up, or is taking the bus to a friends house or to an after school activity. Please note that all changes must be made by 1:30pm.
This website can also be used to notify the school if your child is absent, will be late, or is leaving school early.
