Para español, haga clic aquí
The contacts tab in the Data Confirmation process displays the student's contact information. On this tab, you can update the parent/guardian information as well as additional emergency contacts who you authorize to be notified and/or released in an event of an emergency.
Editing Contact Information
To edit a current contact, click the pencil icon next to the contact's name.
A pop-up window will display the fields you can edit for a current contact:
- Contact Order: This determines the order the contacts are displayed (for example if there are four contacts for the student and you enter 4 in this field, this contact will display at the bottom of all the contacts).
- Telephone: This is where you can add/edit a phone number (landline) for the contact
- Work Phone: This is where you can add/edit a work phone number for the contact
- Extn: If the work phone number has an extension, this is where you can add it
- CorrLng: This is where you add/edit the correspondence language for the contact. If the contact is a parent/guardian, this will update the correspondence language in ParentSquare. Please note that HJUHSD is only currently set up to provide correspondence in both English and Spanish.
- Ed Level: This is where you can record the level of education for the contact
- Email: This is where you can add an email address for contact. It is recommended that you only add email addresses for parents/guardians of the students, NOT emergency contacts. If the email address is associated with an active portal account you will not be able to edit it.
When you have finished editing the contact information, click "Save" located at the bottom of the pop up window.
After saving the data you will see a date and time stamp at the bottom of the contact box. This allows you to confirm your information was updated.
Adding an Emergency Contact
It's always a good idea to have a few emergency contacts on file for the student other than the parent/guardian - just in case there is an emergency and we can't reach a parent/guardian. Please note: we will always attempt to contact all parent/guardians first and emergency contacts will never be contacted for attendance, discipline, etc - they will only be contacted in cases of emergency.
To add an emergency contact click on the "Add" button in the blue bar above the current contacts.
A pop-up window will display the fields you can add for an emergency contact:
- Last Name: This is where you enter the last name for the emergency contact
- First Name: This is where you can enter the first name for the emergency contact
- Relationship: Choose the option that best describes the emergency contact's relationship to the student. You can also simply choose Emergency Contact.
- Contact Order: This determines the order the contacts are displayed (for example if there are four contacts for the student and you enter 4 in this field, this contact will display at the bottom of all the contacts. Emergency contacts should always be displayed under parent/guardians).
- Telephone: This is where you can add a phone number (landline) for the contact
- Work Phone: This is where you can add a work phone number for the contact
- Extn: If the work phone number has an extension, this is where you can add it
- CorrLng: This is where you add/edit the correspondence language for the contact. Please note that HJUHSD is only currently set up to provide correspondence in both English and Spanish.
- Ed Level: This is where you can record the level of education for the contact
- Email: This is where you can add an email address for contact. It is recommended that you only add email addresses for parents/guardians of the students, NOT emergency contacts. If the email address is associated with an active portal account you will not be able to edit it.
When you have finished adding the contact information, click "Save" located at the bottom of the pop up window.
After saving the data you will see a date and time stamp at the bottom of the contact box. This allows you to confirm your information was updated.

FAQs

Does changing this information affect my ParentSquare account?
You will not be able to remove/add ParentSquare accounts for any contacts in this process.
Updating your contact information will edit the contact information for ParentSquare (which syncs with our student information system every night).
For example, if you have your ParentSquare notifications set up to receive text messages and you change your cell phone number in this process, then you will start receiving text messages to the number that has been updated.
If you need to remove/add ParentSquare accounts for a contact, reach out to your school site:
