Konstella - Your Parent Community

Paden is known for our community. We love the diversity, the mutual care, and the fun we have together. Konstella is a tool to help us stay connected, engaged, and organized.

Konstella was built specifically for PTAs to streamline communications, facilitate volunteering, and foster close-knit parent communities.

Paden PTA will use Konstella for:

  • PTA communications to the community. We will still send updates via ParentSquare, but most communications will be easy to find right on Konstella.

  • parent-to-parent communication - arrange those playdates, invite friends to a party, discuss school events

  • volunteer sign ups for events

  • calendar updates

Registration is easy - follow the graphic instructions shown for mobile app use, or follow this link for web use.
