Skyward Family Access Opens July 22!

Get ready--Skyward Family Access opens Monday, July 22 at 9:00 a.m. for annual registration! Each year, parents of existing and newly enrolled Plano ISD students must update several annual registration requirements.

What is Skyward? Plano ISD is implementing Skyward Family Access for parents and students for the 2024–2025 school year. Skyward Family Access will replace the PISD Parent Portal and PISD Gradebook, and will include a mobile app.

How do I use Skyward? Skyward Family Access portal is an easy-to-use web resource, available on any device with an internet connection. It allows parents and guardians to access information about their students, such as attendance, grades, assignments, schedules, progress reports, and report cards.

Look for more information in the coming weeks about this new resource for Plano ISD students and families. Visit the Skyward Family Access website to learn more and stay informed.
