Please monitor your child’s progress through Family Access by Skyward,  Inc.   Family Access is a secure Internet based website that will allow  you to easily keep track of nearly everything your student(s) does while  at school. Among other things, this service allows you to view your student’s attendance, grades,  schedule, progress, assignments, and emergency information. Family Access is a free service and is available to all parents/guardians with children enrolled in the district. Beginning with the 1^st Marking Period, we will no longer send home a hard copy of your child’s progress  report or report card unless you request a hard copy. (This is consistent with the policy at the high school.) You will be able to access  this form by going to WOISD.net and then under “Campuses” click Middle. The link to the form will be under the calendar. For additional information related to Skyward, if you are having difficulties signing in to Skyward, or if you do not have Internet access and are requesting a hard copy of your child’s progress report/report card for each marking period, please call Ms. Cowart at 903-291-2085 or email her at [email protected].
