Bucks County Technical High School uses the Internet-based Skyward Student Information System. Skyward is currently the student information system (SIS) of choice in over one thousand school districts in seventeen states. You can learn more about Skyward at www.skyward.com.
The SKYWARD FAMILY ACCESS PORTAL provides parents/guardians with instant access to students’ school information through the Internet. Using a secure user name and password generated by BCTHS, parents/guardians have access to information, including student grades, discipline, assignments, attendance, schedule, and teacher contact information. The following steps allow parents/guardians to access the portal and monitor student progress:
ENTER SKYWARD FAMILY ACCESS (Click button on the right)
Enter your secure User Name and Password.
Navigate the site.
To view your child’s schedule click SCHEDULE on the left side menu. Scheduling questions should be referred to as the student’s guidance counselor.
When the cursor is placed over the information in the student calendar, a bubble will appear containing details related to that information. When you enter a teacher grade book and double-click on the term grade, you will see all assignments impacting that grade. Often, future jobs appear as not having been completed when, in actuality, these assignments are not yet due, so be sure to ask your child for clarification before contacting the teacher when this question arises.
All Skyward Family Access-related questions should be referred to the Pupil Services Office.
Setting up Email Notifications
When you log in to your Skyward Family Access, up at the top right you will see My Account. This takes you to your Account Settings. Look at the bottom and you will see Email Notifications. This is where you can set up various email notifications regarding your child. You can set it up to receive emails for Daily Attendance, Grades, Progress Reports, and Food Service/Lunch Accounts.
The Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a team process used to mobilize school resources to remove barriers to learning or success. SAP is designed to identify academic, social, attendance, substance use, mental health, and other concerns that pose a barrier to student success. The primary goal of the Student Assistance Program is to help students overcome these barriers so that they may achieve, advance, and remain in school.
The core of the Student Assistance Program is a professionally trained team, including school staff and liaisons from community drug and alcohol, mental health, or behavioral health agencies. SAP team members are trained to review incoming referrals, gather data, and make recommendations to support students in overcoming barriers to learning. These recommendations may include supports and services offered within the school or community. SAP team members do not diagnose, treat, or refer to treatment for behavioral health concerns. The engagement of students and families throughout the SAP process is essential. The SAP team will assist parents in accessing any recommended services and supports.
