The Family and Student Access screen is divided into three portions. The left side of the screen contains hyperlinks that allow you to access the different applications made available to you by the district. To access a particular section, simply click the name of the section on the left side of the screen.
The top portion of the screen contains the student’s name, school, and buttons that allow you to view or change your account information, print, and logout. The main part of the screen displays information based on the section you have selected.
NOTE: Some example screen views shown in this guide may include sections that are not in use.
Selecting a Student and School
Parents/guardians who have more than one student in the district can choose each student using the Student drop-down menu. Student users do not have this drop-down menu because they are not allowed to view information about their siblings. Students who are enrolled in more than one school can choose between the schools using the school drop-down menu.
Attendance
The Attendance section allows you to view a student’s tardies and absences (excused and unexcused) in either a calendar or list format. You can also view a student’s term attendance totals.
Academic History
The Academic History page allows you to view a student’s grade history. It displays the school number, school year, grade level, course and section codes, course description, department code, subject code, terms, and grades for all classes in the school district that the student is enrolled in, has completed, or is scheduled in. You can sort the list by clicking the appropriate column heading. To view more information about a class, click the course and section code in the Class column.
