Annual Student Information Update
It’s that time of year when we ask families to verify that the information we have on file is correct! We normally complete this process in August/September, but with our transition to the new Skyward system over the summer, this important update was delayed until now.
Please take a few minutes to complete the Annual Student Info Update for each of your students.
💻 How to Complete the Update
1. Visit the Elk Ridge Elementary website.
2. About halfway down the page on the right side, click the “Family Access” button.
3. This will open the Skyward login page.
4. Enter your Skyward login information. Forgot your login or password? Click the “Forgot your Login/Password?” link.
5. Once logged in, click “26-27 Annual Student Info Update."
6. Complete the required information for each student.
We strongly recommend using a computer or laptop. The Annual Student Info Update does not always load or function correctly on a smartphone.
Why Is This Important?
Every year, we ask families to review and update this information because having accurate records is essential for communication and student safety. Please make sure your phone numbers, email addresses, emergency contacts, health information, housing information, and other student information are current.
🍎 Free & Reduced Meal Application
While you are in Family Access, if you have not already completed your Free & Reduced Meal application, please take a moment to do that as well. Your participation helps our district continue to qualify for free breakfast and lunch for all students next year!
A Reminder About Distribution/Opt-Out Choices
We know there has sometimes been confusion about the different information-sharing options in Skyward. Here is what each choice means:
-District: Student information may be shared within the district. This can include student email addresses, rosters, signage, banners, honor roll recognition, and similar school/district uses.
-Public Media: Student information may be shared outside of the district with local or non-local agencies and companies, or in publications available to the general public. This may include social media, newspapers, yearbooks, and other public-facing publications.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you choose NOT to allow Public Media, your student's photo will NOT be included in the yearbook.
-Military: Student information may be shared with military recruiters.
-Higher Education: Student information may be shared with institutions of higher education.
CLASS COMPETITION
We’re making this update a little more fun! The first class in K–2 and the first class in 3–5 to have 100% of their Annual Student Info Updates completed will win a pizza or ice cream party!
Competition Ends Friday, October 23rd!
Thank you for taking the time to make sure we have the most accurate and up-to-date information for your family. We appreciate your help!
