Navigating the Site


Once on the site, click on the student’s name in the drop down box at the top of the screen next to Student.  The school your student is currently enrolled in will show beside School on the top middle of the screen.

Now, you may click on the various links on the left side of the screen.

• The Student Information link shows family information and contact information.

• Clicking on Gradebook shows your student’s current grade in each class.  T1 stands for Term 1 (1st quarter), S1 stands for Semester 1, etc.  You will be able to see detailed grade book information by clicking on the grade itself.  There is also a Missing Assignments tab on this screen with detailed information.

• On the Attendance screen, dates may be underlined and displayed in a different color.  These are dates where attendance information has been entered.  Click on the date to see more detail.

• You may click on any link on the Report Cards tab to view that particular report card.

• Clicking on Schedule reveals your student’s schedule for the current term.  A tab at the top of the screen called Current Year allows you to take a look at the entire school year.

• There is also a Message Center link where special notices, school events, open houses, etc. may be posted.

FAQ


What if I don’t have Internet access at home? 

You can get on the website from any computer, from work, at our local library, or from a friend’s computer.

Can I change my password? 

Yes.  After you log in, simply click on the Account Info button on the top right of your screen.  After clicking on the Change My Password box, fill in the information on the bottom of the pop-up box to change the password.  Be sure to click the “Save” button before exiting.

Is there any other way I can receive this information? 

If you would like copies of your student’s progress reports, please call the guidance office at the school your student attends.  They will be happy to assist you in receiving paper copies.

Will I still receive paper copies of report cards? 

Yes, we will still run the paper copies of quarter and semester report cards.  At report card time be on the lookout for your school’s newsletter regarding report card distribution.

What about changes to my student’s family information? 

When you have a change in address, workplace information, phone number, etc. you may click on the Student Information link on the left side of the screen.  There is a Contact Us tab at the top of this section.  Click on the Contact Us button to email us with the new information.
 
How soon after a test/assignment due date will I be able to see my student’s grade?
 

There is a ten school day window between when the test/assignment is due and when you may be able to view the grade on Family Access.  There may be exceptions to the ten school day window when large assignments (term papers and projects) are due.

Will other parents be able to see my student’s information? 

No, your student’s information is only accessible by you with your login and password.  Counselors and teachers are also able to access the information on a limited basis.

Will students be able to see information about themselves? 

Yes, they will.  Students will receive their own login and password at school and be able to log into Family Access the same as their parents.

Why do the screens for my elementary school children look different? 

The elementary schools do not use Family Access to the same extent as the secondary schools.  There will be limited information for those students.

What should I do if I have questions or concerns about my student’s progress? 

If you have concerns or questions about your son/daughter’s progress or grades, talk to your child first.  If you need further information, please contact the teacher, guidance department, or the main office where your student attends.
