Dear Parents and Guardians of Oakesdale Students:

 

We are finally ready to use the technology available to us as a communication tool between school and home.  The basic features of our parent access feature allows you to be constantly Òin the knowÓ about how your child is performing in school, allowing you to always be aware of their grades.

 

Every parent/guardian of every student has access to the Skyward system.  Available to parents/guardians is the following information:

 

á        Grades K-12 attendance information

á        Grades 5-12 grade book/report card information

 

To receive your log in information, please call Penny at 285-5296.  Penny will provide you with a system generated login ID and password.  There is a separate log in and password for each parent/guardian of each child. 

 

To log into the Skyward system, please visit the school website at www.oakesdale.wednet.edu and click the link that says Skyward Parent Access.  Once you click on that link, follow these steps:

 

1.       In the LOG IN box, enter your system generated login provided by Penny

2.       In the PASSWORD box, enter your system generated password provided by Penny

3.       Click the BLUE login box

 

You will now be at a My Account Information box where you will see your name as the parent/guardian, along with your address, phone number, etc.  To the right of that box you have three choices, Change My Log In, Change My Password, and Change My Email.  These options allow you to change your information from the system generated information provided by Penny, to your own, that you make up.  To make the changes, click on those boxes, one at a time, and follow the instructions on your screen.

 

Navigation of the site is relatively simple.  The menu items are on the left so you can choose what information about your student you would like to view.  If you have more than one child, click on the arrow next to your childÕs name and a drop down menu will appear and you can choose which child you would like to view. 

 

If you need assistance with this, please contact Penny at the school.  Hopefully this is of value and helps you to be more informed. 

 

Sincerely,

Superintendent/Principal of Oakesdale School District
