·        Parents, have you checked your on-line Family Access account lately?  Launched last fall as a communication link with K-12 families, Family Access allows parents to check student attendance and final semester and trimester grades.  It contains each student’s unique State Student Identifier number – a number that will be increasingly important for student record storage and retrieval. 

 

Family Access records student residence and the emergency contacts parents have designated as “who to call” in times of urgent need.  If your contact information is wrong or has changed, the school won’t know who to call when you most need that call.

 

Please check the e-mail address on record in Family Access.  Plans are in the works to use those e-mail addresses more frequently and systematically to touch base with you about school issues and news you need. 

 

If you’ve not looked at Family Access recently, please do so by:

1.      Going to the district website at www.issaquah.wednet.edu.

2.      Click on the Family Access link on the left hand menu.

3.      Enter your login information.  (If you don’t have login information, contact your school registrar or secretary)
