Granting Parents and Guardians More Access

Our leaders are optimistic the new parent portal will improve transparency and communication.

New Story Schools is adopting Skyward’s Family Access for the 2020-2021 school year. With this online portal, parents and guardians can stay on top of their student’s grades, attendance, upcoming events, and more. The portal’s social media-style message wall makes it easier for parents to communicate with teachers and support staff, while providing a single destination for important school announcements.

New Story Schools expects this increased transparency to result in closer partnerships between school and home, a key factor in improving student achievement. With anytime, any-device access to upcoming information, guardians can provide additional support and intervention from home. To learn more about Family Access, be sure to check out Skyward’s parent toolkit at https://www.skyward.com/parents.

Family Access is a key component of New Story Schools Skyward student information system. It is a nationally recognized, award-winning family engagement resource used by more than 1500 districts around the world.

Make sure your New Story School administration has your up-to-date email address and contact information to engage in Family Access!
