For families

Family Access

To make it easier for families to be involved in their child's education, we provide a Web-based tool to view student information anytime by using Family Access! Families can view class schedules, grades, attendance, fines, fees, lunch account balances and other student information.

Our student information system, known as Family Access, is is linked from every school Web page. To use this software you need to have a user login and password available from your school. The login and password assigned to you will work for all the children in your household, regardless of grade level or school of attendance.

Lost your password or login? Need to update or change your child's information? Questions about grades, missing assignments or homework?

Please contact your child's school for assistance!
