Checking Grades and Report Cards
Consistently logging into Skyward isn't just about tracking numbers—it's about proactive support.
Did you know? Checking Skyward just once a week allows you to catch missing assignments or dropping grades before they impact final report cards. It turns a potential end-of-term surprise into a constructive weekend conversation with your student.
Accessing Report Cards & Progress Reports
-
Log into Family Access.
-
Click on the Portfolio tab on the left-hand menu.
-
Select the current term’s report card to view, print, or electronically sign.
Custom Alerts and Notifications
You don’t have to log in every day to stay in the loop. Skyward can do the heavy lifting for you. We highly recommend setting up automated email or push notifications for real-time updates.
How to Customize Your Alerts:
-
Click Account in the top right corner of your Skyward dashboard.
-
Locate the Email Notifications section.
-
Check the boxes for the alerts you want to receive:
| Alert Type | What You’ll Receive | Why it Helps |
| Low Grade Alerts | An email if a grade falls below a threshold you choose (e.g., 70%). | Allows for immediate course correction and tutoring support. |
| Attendance Alerts | A notification if your student is marked absent or tardy for a period. | Ensures student safety and accountability in real time. |
| Missing Assignment Alerts | A digest of any work not turned in by the due date. | Keeps weekend catch-up sessions organized. |
