The directions found here are for new students with no siblings in the District.  Families who have children enrolled and want to enroll a sibling should go to the section for current families enrolling new students. Registration occurs through Skyward Family Access. The first step for new families is to request a Skyward Family Access account.

Step 1: Request a Skyward Family Access Account

Families are encouraged to have a valid email address to complete online registration.

• Visit the New to District Registration page and request a username and password.
• Complete the required fields, then click on “Click Here to Submit Account Request.”  An email will then be sent to the email address provided with a username and password along with a LINK for the parent/guardian to access the application portal.
  • You can make an account request without an email address, but you will have to write down your username and password.
• Once you have your login information, log in to Skyward Family Access.

Step 2: Enrolling your child(ren) in Skyward Family Access

There is an option on the top right hand corner to select your language of choice.

Log into your Skyward Family Access account and click on NEW TO DISTRICT REGISTRATION located in the upper left-hand side of the main window that appears after you are logged in. There are 6 steps to the application with instructions for each area, plus a number of custom forms that must be completed.

Complete steps 1-4 to provide student information, family information, medical information, and emergency contact information. Note that anywhere you see an (*) asterisk, this is a required field.  As you complete each step, you will have the option to complete and move to the next step or to complete that step only. Choose to complete that step only if you plan to save and continue later. Complete Step 5, Additional District Forms.  Some of these are required and some are optional. Once you complete this step, you will see a review of all steps. All steps must show a Date Completed to the right. Each step can be viewed or edited at this time.

The last step is for the parent/guardian to click  “Submit Application to the District”. Once you’ve submitted the application, it can be viewed but not edited. After you submit the application, the system will take you to a Summary Page. If there is a sibling to enroll, click the button “Click to Enroll Additional Students.” Otherwise you are finished. If the system does not allow you to click to submit, please review each step to ensure each step has been submitted even if you haven’t added data to that page.

PLEASE NOTE that only the Parent/Guardian listed first in FAMILY ACCESS will have rights to complete Online Registration and/or make changes.  This is by design in our Student Information System.  If you are listed in the number 2 position, please contact the office of the school your child attends.

1. Log into your Skyward Family Access account and click on RETURNING STUDENT ONLINE REGISTRATION located in the upper left hand side of the main window that appears after you are logged in. When clicking on the tab, you will see a list of your returning students, please complete the process for each student.

 2. Complete the first steps to verify student information, family information, medical information and emergency contact information. Note that anywhere you see an (*) asterisk, this is a required field. As you complete each step, you will have the option to complete and move to the next step. 

3. After Step 2, there is additional forms to complete. Some of these are required and some are optional. Use the View Full Screen button to expand the form to see all the fields. As you complete the forms, a green checkmark will appear next to the steps.

4. The last step is for the parent/guardian to click  “Submit Returning Student Online Registration”. Once you’ve submitted the application, it can be viewed but not edited. If the system does not allow you to click to submit, please review each step to ensure each step has been submitted even if you haven’t added data to that page.
