Information for Families

OCM BOCES is excited to announce a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. Many of you will be familiar with this platform through its use in several home school districts within our region. This communications platform is designed to keep families informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with OCM BOCES student programs. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to: send and receive school and class information, see upcoming school events, share pictures and files, schedule parent-teacher conferences, and much more — all in one centralized place.
