Educating Ogdensburg’s students is our priority, and we value our partnership with parents, guardians, and the community. The goal of the Ogdensburg CSD Communications Office is to keep district families and community members informed of all things Harrisville. From updates made on this website to the newsletters that appear at your door, our office is dedicated to making sure the lines of communication between the district and members of our community are strong.
ParentSquare

The Ogdensburg City School District uses ParentSquare, a unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection between home and school. It provides a safe way for school administrators, teachers, staff, and parents to:
- Receive important alerts,
- Send and receive school and class information,
- Share pictures and files,
- View Calendar items,
- Sign up to volunteer, and
- Schedule parent-teacher conferences
All district and school, grade level, and classroom information is sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text.
Download the ParentSquare App
The ParentSquare app is available for free on iOS and Android devices.
SchoolTool Parent Portal

The district’s parent portal, SchoolTool, is a password protected secure website that offers parents and students online access to personalized information about a student’s academic program and progress.
Student report cards, interim reports and academic schedules for students in grades 6-12 are posted.

Social Media (Facebook)

Parent-Teacher Communication
Communication between the parent(s) and school is very important. Parent conferences for all grade levels are scheduled in the fall. In addition, parents of all junior kindergarten, kindergarten, first grade and second grade students may also have a parent-teacher conference at a later date in the school year. Parents are encouraged to conference with teachers, as well as with any other specialist with whom the child works (i.e. Speech, Title I, Resource Room).
If you would like to conference with your child’s teacher in addition to these designated times, please feel free to contact that teacher to set up an appointment.
It is often difficult to conference effectively in the spur of the moment. However, should an emergency arise, our teachers are always willing to meet with parents. Your communication is greatly appreciated.
Chain of Command
To best address individual concerns, please begin the process with the person closest to the issue/problem so that specific information can be gathered. This often leads to the solution. For example, Classroom Teacher or Special Area Teacher > Principal > Assistant Superintendent > Superintendent, or the Board of Education.
Website
The Ogdensburg CSD website is updated with information about district and building level activities, programs and announcements. In addition to the district homepage, each school has its own web pages with school-specific information. We strive to keep website information up to date. Any errors that are brought to the attention of the Communications Office will be corrected as soon as possible.
