Keep your Skyward contact information up to date Occasionally information is sent out to parents through emails or the Skylert call out system. To stay in the loop you will want to make sure your primary phone number and email information is current. Log into your Skyward Family Access account to view the contact information we have on file for you. CHANGING PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION: Your personal contact information, Username, password or Automatic notification settings can be changed by doing the following: 1. Login to Skyward Family Access with your parent access login. 2. Click "My Account" at the top of the page. 3. Change any of the editable fields in the information which is displayed or use the links to change your username or password. Address changes require a new proof of residency document be provided to the campus. This would be in the form of a current utility (gas, water, or electric) bill for the residence, in the name of a guardian for the student. Another acceptable form is the top page of lease agreement in the name of the guardian, current and lists the student as an occupant. If you need assistance to making a change to a field that is not editable, contact Linda Hrubo, at 469-948-3105 or email: [email protected] HEADS UP!
