Skyward seems to be functioning this morning! This is also a great time to share some tips as well!
Did you know that there's a Skyward app for current families? While it doesn't have all of the functionality that browser access does, however, it is a great tool for on-the-go parents! Download by clicking one of the links below:

Skylert: the area of Skyward Family Access where you can configure your notifications.
SchoolMessenger: a separate messaging system connected to Skyward that the district uses to broadcast the notifications.
Skyward Family Access is the Student Information System (SIS) that allows parents and students to view attendance; discipline and lunch account information/add money to your child’s account.
Each parent or guardian should receive a unique login and password from their student’s school when they register their student for the first time (current students do not need to re-register each year).
Once you have your login information, you can log into Skyward. https://www2.nwrdc.wa-k12.net/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=wsedros71/seplog01.w
If you have forgotten your password, you can click on the forgot your password link to reset it.
If you have multiple students in the district, click the “Student Selection” box at the top of the page to choose a student in your household.
Click on Attendance to view tardies and absences.
Click on Food Service to view current balance, daily purchases, and to make a payment on your student’s Food Service Account. (Payments made in the office are posted the following business day.) Although meals are currently free for all, some students who pay for milk a la carte or who purchase an extra meal may have an outstanding balance.
Click on Discipline to view referrals and offenses.
Click on Skylert to manage Skylert subscriptions to receive general messages from the school. In the My Skyward contact info area phone numbers and email addresses are listed on the left. The corresponding check boxes on the right specify if you receive notifications. To receive General messages as text only, uncheck the General boxes in Grid #1 and check the General boxes in the Text Message Numbers area in Grid #2. Click SAVE!
**PRO-TIP: Parents and guardians can click on My Account to select weekly progress reports and grades to be emailed directly. Be sure and click save and these will be emailed to you each week!
Want to receive important messages via text? Follow these steps:

Add up to five phone numbers (standard rates may apply).
