Hello parents/guardians:
Students will be coming home today with a blue Student Information Sheet. This sheet has the current information in Skyward for your student. On the back of this sheet are the directions to request updates to your information in your Skyward Family Access account. Please do not return this sheet to the school.
When you are updating your phone numbers you may see your cell phone number as the primary number and then the same number is repeated below it and labeled Cell. Please leave your number listed twice. This is used for the GCSD app and alerts. If you are changing your primary number and it is a cell phone, please list the same number again below it and label it Cell.
If you need a Skyward Family Access account to request updates to your information, please visit www.gilchristschools.org/skyward and submit the form. If you had an account in the past but you cannot access it, please submit the same form. We expect a high number of requests and appreciate your patience as we work through them.
Progress reports and report cards will only be shared through Skyward Family Access this school year. The progress report for Quarter 1 is now available for students in 1st through 12th grade. Kindergarten students will not receive a progress report for the first quarter.
You can access the progress report by selecting Portfolio in Skyward Family Access on a browser or Menu > Portfolio > Download on the mobile Skyward app. The progress report is labeled Progress Report Letter in the Portfolio section. Please see the image for screenshots of what you will see in Skyward.
Los estudiantes regresarán a casa hoy con una Hoja de Información del Estudiante azul. Esta hoja contiene la información actual de su estudiante en Skyward. En el reverso encontrará las instrucciones para solicitar actualizaciones de esta información en su cuenta de Skyward Family Access. Por favor, no devuelva esta hoja a la escuela.
Al actualizar sus números de teléfono, es posible que vea que su celular es el número principal y que el mismo número se repite debajo, etiquetado como "Celular". Por favor, deje su número escrito dos veces. Esto se usa para la aplicación y las alertas del GCSD. Si cambia su número principal y es un celular, escriba el mismo número nuevamente debajo y etiquételo como "Celular".
Si necesita una cuenta de Skyward Family Access para solicitar actualizaciones de su información, visite www.gilchristschools.org/skyward y envíe el formulario. Si ya tenía una cuenta, pero no puede acceder a ella, envíe el mismo formulario. Esperamos recibir muchas solicitudes y le pedimos paciencia mientras las procesamos.
Este año escolar, los informes de progreso y las boletas de calificaciones solo se compartirán a través de Skyward Family Access. El informe de progreso del primer trimestre ya está disponible para los estudiantes de primero a duodécimo grado. Los estudiantes de kínder no recibirán un informe de progreso del primer trimestre.
Puede acceder al informe de progreso seleccionando Portafolio en Skyward Family Access desde un navegador o desde Menú > Portafolio > Descargar en la aplicación móvil de Skyward. El informe de progreso se encuentra en la sección Portafolio, bajo el título "Carta de Informe de Progreso". Consulte las imágenes para ver capturas de pantalla de lo que verá en Skyward.
