Boston Public Schools (BPS) partnered with ParentSquare, a school-to-home communications platform, in August 2024 to improve communication and deepen engagement with families.

ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent or caregiver, using their preferred email address and phone number. This allows the individual to receive email, text, and/or app notifications.

The district encourages parents and caregivers to register for an account so that they can begin receiving classroom, school, and district updates.

Boston Public Schools (BPS) uses LINQ Connect to provide families with access to lunch menu options for all schools. To register, you will need your student’s contact information as well as the student’s ID number. Getting set up the first time takes a few minutes, but once you are registered, it is a great resource for the school food menu.

If you would prefer an analog solution to review lunch options, Boston Public Schools also publishes a monthly menu here. Murphy follows the BPS K-8 menu.
