Navigating Family Access

The main text area in the middle of the screen is called "The Wall." This is where you will receive messages and reminders from your student's school and/or teachers. Through Family Access, you can use the dropdown menu at the top of the screen to toggle between All Students and a select student depending on what information you would like to view.

This is the area where you would enroll a new student in the Issaquah School District. Click on this option to be taken to start a new student application. For more information on this process, please visit our New Student Enrollment page. 

Enrollment Verification Process, also known as EVP, takes place during a week in August and is how families can confirm that their students will be attending the ISD in the upcoming year and fill out the required annual forms. This will only appear in your Family Access account while the process is available in August.

The Calendar will show any days that school is closed or and when terms will begin and end.

The Gradebook is only available for Middle School and High School Students. This will show you all current year grades that have been posted to Skyward for your students. Using the Display Options, you can select if you would like to view All Grades, Current Grades, or Previous and Current Grades. The grades in the Gradebook may not match what is in Canvas, so please reach out to your student's teacher if you have any questions about grades.

The Attendance tab will show all current year absences and tardies for your student(s). 

The Student Info tab will show basic demographic information about your student. You can click on "View (Name)'s Family" to see the information on file for your family. If any changes need to be made to this information, click the Contact Us button at the top of the screen to notify the registrar at your student's school. Please make sure to include your student's name in the email. 

The schedule will show your student's schedule for the current school year. 

The Test Score tab will provide you with the scores for any standardized test that your student has taken. To view the test scores, click on Show Scores next to any test name.

Educational Milestones will only show for Middle School and High School students. This will show any Educational Milestones that they have achieved, the date it was completed, and if it was a graduation requirement.

Conferences will only show for Elementary students during a select timeframe each fall in preparation for Elementary Conferences that happen in early December of each year. For more information on how to sign up for Elementary conferences in Family Access, visit the Conference Scheduler page.

Academic History is only available for Middle School and High School students. This will show a record of all a student's final grades dating back to when they were first enrolled in the Issaquah School District. 

The Portfolio is where you will be able to find Report Cards, Score Reports for Standardized Tests, your student's ID numbers, and their Lunch # and Food Service account balance. Report Cards are only kept in the Portfolio for about 2 years, so please make sure to download copies of these for your own records.
