Customizing Family Access

Access your account information by clicking on My Account on the top right menu. On this screen you can review the information the school has on your guardian account. You have the ability to update your email address or change your password from this screen, but all other changes to your information will need to be made by the registrar at your student's school. You can email your changes by clicking on Contact Us at the top the screen and typing your email message in the text box that will appear. Please make sure to include your student's name in this email

This screen also allows some accessibility options for those who need them. If you would like to indicate you are using a Screen Reader or you would like to Outline Links when Focused, you can select those options here. 

You also have the ability to set up notifications for attendance and grading. Please note that these thresholds will create automated emails for all students attached to this account. 

Once you are finished, click Save to save your changes.

You can select which messages you would like to appear on The Wall. Select the Home tab in the left menu, then click on the cog icon on the top right corner of The Wall messages area and select Home Settings. Once you are finished, click Save to save your changes.

Check any selections that you would like to hide from your view. If you would like messages to only show for a certain number of days before being hidden, you can make that select in that area after you check the box.

 

From the Calendar tab, select Calendar Display to the right of the Month name. From here, you can adjust your view preferences, which types of events you would like to be able to view (note that just because it's an option doesn't mean that is it being used by your student's school/teacher), and the color of each event type. Once you are finished, click Save to save your changes.

 

This option can be found in the Gradebook, which is only available for students in Middle School and High School. If your student currently has any missing assignments in Skyward, you will see a red alert at the top of this page that says Missing Assignments. Click on Show All to view the details about these assignments.

 

This will show a list of all missing assignments for the current school year. If you would like to just view Missing Assignments from the current term, click Show Missing for Current Grades at the top of the table.

 

To change back to viewing all Missing Assignments for the current school year, you will click on Show Missing for Current School year again and it will revert back.
