Editor's Notes

1. Welcome! Introduction
2. Family Access allows you to see your child’s information . . . schedule, grades, attendance, discipline, vaccination records, emergency contact information, test scores, etc.
3. Skyward’s Family Access allows a collaborative connection between the teacher, student, and parents. All working together to create the best possible education experience for students.
4. For PK & Kindergarten students, a mastery of skills is used in lieu of grades for their report card; so their gradebook will be limited to only include Health, & PE grades.
5. Family Access is provided by the District and it’s a privilege for you to have, not necessarily a right. Parents/Guardians are held responsible for proper use of the account, so we provide words of caution, the account may be monitored, and if rules are violated, access can be revoked. So we share some of our Inappropriate uses…
6. Using someone else’s account or accessing another individual’s records without permission. Downloading or using copyrighted information without permission from the copyright holder. Gaining or attempting to gain unauthorized access to restricted information or resources.
7. Parent Orientation Meeting Complete application form (print neatly for email): making sure 1’s and L’s are legible_ O’s and 0’s they tend to give problems. Return form in person to one of the campuses in which your child(ren) attends. A picture ID is required at that time. Once approved, you will receive an e-mail with your username and password. Email will be sent by Skyward, so expect email: skyward@lcmcisd.org Spam filters sometimes sends this email to “junk mail” so check there

10. Contact Us allows you to choose your communication category: Attendance, Discipline, Student Information; Teachers can be contacted in Skyward through the Message Center, Gradebook, or on the Schedule. You can access other information in the left navigation; this screenshot shows a sample of a Teachers message with an attachment for students. Not all teachers use Message Center, but many do. Some rely on their websites or other mobile applications such as Remind.
11. The calendar displays all the student holidays, progress reports, six weeks and more. You can change the view to a day view, week view, or month view. If you have multiple students, you can click Calendar Display to color code each child.
12. Most parents spend 90% of their Skyward time on Gradebook checking for Missing Assignments. You will need to pay particular attention to the due date since Skyward makes an assignment missing after 5 days passed the due date. There will be times when your child may say they turned it in, but the teacher may have not graded the assignment yet, or posted it. Note that grades are not considered final until Report cards are printed. Students may have submitted assignments that have not yet been graded and/or recorded by the teacher. You can see a legend that is included to help with codes above the grades.
13. If you open up the little black arrow, it will give you a list of the assignments that are included in the average. If you want more information, you can click the assignment.
