Family Corner

Everything Your Family Needs, All in One Place

Calendars, handbooks, food resources, and support services for all S2 families, from PreK through 11th grade.

Your S2 Family Resource Hub

When your family does well, your child does well. That is what we believe at School in the Square (S2).


This page is your starting point. You will find calendars, school policies, uniform information, food pantry dates, and contact resources all in one place. If you ever have a question and cannot find the answer here, your Family Coordinator is one call or email away.


All enrolled families should sign up for ParentSquare. It is where we send school updates, event reminders, and important announcements directly to your phone or inbox.

Get set up with ParentSquare

ParentSquare is how S2 stays in touch with families. School updates, messages from teachers, event reminders, dismissal changes, and everything in between live in one place, so you're never hunting for information.


Log in from any device at parentsquare.com, or grab the free ParentSquare app from the App Store or Google Play. The same login works across all of them, so you can check messages on your phone during the day and pull up the full portal at home.

School in the Square Policies

These are the key policies that guide life at S2. We encourage every family to review them at the start of the school year.

Free Monthly Food Pantry

The S2 Food Pantry is open to all current and alumni families. Each month, we distribute fresh produce, canned goods, dry staples, and personal care items at no cost.

Food Pantry Days

Our Food Pantry Days are held monthly at School in the Square High School, 12 Sherman Avenue, New York, NY 10040.


Check ParentSquare for the exact date each month.

Uniforms are part of what makes S2 feel like S2. They help our students show up ready to learn and remind us that we're one community across all four campuses.


Every day, students should arrive in their full uniform: tops, bottoms, and outerwear. If your family ever needs help getting uniforms, please reach out to your Family Coordinator. We're here to make sure every student has what they need.


Every new student receives a free starter uniform package in their first days at S2. When you're ready for more, you can shop through our online Uniform Shop.
