Directions - Skyward - Student Information (Parents)

Annual 'Back-to-School' forms provide guardians an opportunity to edit Student Information. Guardians can also make changes through Skyward's Family Access as described in the directions below. District staff cannot alter these settings for parents without documentation from the guardian requesting the change.

This document can be shared or printed to provide guardians with the directions below.

Step 1

Open Student Information page

A. Guardians with more than one student in the district will have to select which one they want to edit. Note: You will need to edit each student individually if you want the same change applied to each.

B. Select the 'Student Info' tab at the left.

C. Select the link to 'Request Changes for [Student Name]' to open a dropdown menu which lists the areas you can change. Note: The options for changing information are different depending on the guardian's relationship with the student.

D. Select the most appropriate choice for the information you wish to edit. Not all information is required. In each section remember to select the 'Save' button at the bottom right if you want to submit your changes.

The following is a brief description of each selection:

Student Information: This section can be used to provide the student's name, their home, work, or cell number, and a home email address.
Family Address: The primary residence of the student's family and mailing address (do not need to be the same).
Family Information: Change your home language, preference for receiving report cards, and confidentiality of that number. Also set the custodial relationship of guardians and provide their contact information and employer information.
Emergency Information: Provide any critical alert information such as allergies, Physician and Dentist names, and insurance policy. Please note the school nurse is not alerted when changes are made to this area. Please contact the school if there are recent critical changes to a student's health information.
Add Emergency Contacts: Add multiple additional people for emergency contact including their name, relationship, email, phone numbers, additional comments and if that individual has authority to pick up the student from school.
Health Information: This area lists the health information we have about the student but cannot be edited directly. If there are changes the guardian should contact their school office.
View History: This area shows the status of requested changes to the student's information.
View Unread Denials: This area shows any requests for changes that were denied. Contact the district office to discuss further details about any denial.
