 Every year the password of students entering the 6^th grade is automatically changed in the system.  The new password for your 6^th grade student is emailed to the parent/guardian.  User ID and passwords for 7^th and 8^th graders does not change.

Contact our registrar, Kris Ellis, via email ellisk@issaquah.wednet.edu if you or your student cannot log in to Family Access.

Welcome New Families to Maywood!

Dear New Families to Maywood, 

It feels like there is so much in flux right now, but I want you to know that the staff at Maywood Middle School are very much still dedicated to successfully transitioning students to Maywood--whether they are starting middle school for the first time as 6th graders or they are a new-to-us 7th or 8th grader! 

Our administrative and counseling teams have put together a New Parent Orientation video for new families to Maywood. You can find it by clicking here. We hope this orientation video helps to build a strong school-home connection, answer questions and ease your mind a bit as we start our school year in 100% remote teaching and learning. 

In a world of change and uncertainty, we are still just as committed as ever to supporting students and ensuring they have a positive and enriching middle school experience. 

We look forward to getting to know your student and supporting them this school year! 

Thank you,

Erin McKee
Principal
