Skyward Tips & Tricks

ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ is in our 3rd school year of using Skyward and we have a few tips and tricks to help you navigate the system. Each month we will be publishing small tips and tricks in this staff newsletter to help everyone better understand Skyward.Ìý

ÌýLogging In to SkywardÌý

A common question we see regarding Skyward is the log in process.

Tip #1Ìý

On the Skyward sign-in page there is a small dropdown below the login box. The dropdown tells the system which page to direct you to at login. If the selection in the dropdown menu is a page you don’t have access to, the system won’t log you in.

TIP: Set the dropdown to “All Areas�

  • Enroll New Student/SiblingÌýis where our new families enroll their student to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ.Ìý
  • Family/Student AccessÌýwill direct you to Skyward Family Access if you have a student at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ.Ìý
  • Secured AccessÌýlogs you in as a staff member only.
  • All AreasÌýlogs you in to every role or permission you may have in Skyward but allow you to toggle back and forth between pages in the system.Ìý(see Tip #3)Ìý

Tip #2Ìý

Once your sign-in page is set to “All Areasâ€� go to Bookmarks at the top of your screen and select “Bookmark This Tabâ€�. This will save your bookmark to always open up with the correct setting for “All Areasâ€�.Ìý

Tip #3Ìý

Access in Skyward is dependent on your role and if you have students at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ. You may have access to the following modules:ÌýEducator Access PlusÌýandÌýStudent Management.

Educator Access PlusÌýallows teachers and instructors access to the classes assigned to them.

Student ManagementÌýis focused on administrative access. This module allows users to manage the school as a whole. Access to Student Management will depend on your role at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ. Student Management enables users to access IEP’s or information for students in your groups classes.Ìý

To toggle between these modules use the arrow next to home and select the appropriate dropdown selection.Ìý

  • Educator Access Plus – teacher and instructor access to classesÌý
  • Family Access – If you have a student at ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ, you can quickly enter Family Access from here instead of logging in to two different areasÌý
  • Student Management – whole school/administrative accessÌý
  • Product Setup – very few will have access to this.Ìý
