Student information verification: Deadline extended through August 23

Please confirm if your student(s) will return to the Lake Washington School District for the 2021-22 school year, using a quick online process. This information will help the district plan for staffing, class sizes and scheduling for next year. This information is also critical to ensure we have accurate emergency contact information for each student. Please complete student verification by the August 23 extended deadline.

Here are the steps to confirm your student(s) enrollment:

1. Log in to Skyward Family Access. 
2. Click on “Go to Student Information Verification for (Student Name)” or click on the “Student Information Verification” button.
3. Click on your student’s name. 
4. Verify your student’s information by clicking on “Next” at the bottom of the right-hand panel of your screen to go through the different items to verify or click on the actual line item.  
5. For each step, click "Complete Step # and move to Step #" at the bottom of the screen when done. A check mark will appear next to the item.
   
   Review and request changes for each of the steps below:
   1. Verify Student Information

6. Click “Submit Student Information Verification”. (Important note: Verification is not complete until you click “Close and Finish”.)
7. Repeat these steps to go through the verification process again for each of your students.
   Please note: If a student has two families in the Skyward system, only the first family needs to verify the student's plans next year. 

Need additional help? Please email registrar@lwsd.org. 

If your student is withdrawing from the Lake Washington School District, please let us know by sending an email with the following information to registrar@lwsd.org:

• Student first name and last name
• Student birthdate
• Lake Washington school your student is currently attending
• Name of school (public, private or home) your student will be attending 

A student may have more than one family listed in our database. Our software designates the first family listed in the student’s record as the “primary family” for that student. This family’s address is typically used to determine the neighborhood school the student attends as defined by the district’s school boundaries. It also is the address used by the district’s Transportation Department for busing purposes.

If your family is not listed first, then your family will be designated as the “non-primary Family”. It is the responsibility of the “primary family” to verify the student’s information. The “primary family” designation includes both adults if more than one is listed.

As a “non-primary Family”, you are still able to make changes to your own family’s information or add emergency contacts using the Online Student Information Verification process. If the record has already been verified by a member of the primary family, you will not be able to make changes. In this case, you may contact either the primary family or the school office to request that the record be temporarily unverified so that you can make changes to your information.

Most change requests made through the online verification process is reflected immediately on your student’s information. Because of rules around school boundaries, however, an address change requires approval from the office staff. If your address has changed, please go to the school office and present proof of residency.

Is there a check mark by each of the steps? If not, click on the step without a check mark and click the box “Complete step..." button at the bottom of the screen. Click on “Complete Online Student Information Verification”, then click on the “Submit Online Student Information Verification” button.

At this time, you cannot edit an existing contact. As a workaround, please delete the contact with the incorrect information and add a new contact with the correct information.

Current active employees need to contact Human Resources to update your employee information. Former employees who are also parents should be able to change their personal information without contacting HR.

You may delete the contact and add another one with the correct contact information.

No. It is not necessary to wait for approval. Once you have made all the changes, you should click on the “Submit Online Student Information Verification” button. We now have a record of the changes you requested and the office staff will follow up with you should they have any questions. Remember, if you do not click on the submit button by the end of the verification period, you may be asked to fill out a paper form just like the old way to complete the verification process.

Verification button and then the “View History” link. You may also view emails sent through the “Contact Us” button, by clicking on “Email History.”

Send an email to your student’s school by clicking on the Online Student Information Verification link under “Contact Us” on the upper right hand corner of your screen.

On the subject line, write “Online Verification: (Your Student’s Name).”

Enter your question in the box and click the Send Email button.

Skylert works with our emergency notification system, SchoolMessenger. Through Skylert, you control how we contact you for emergencies, attendance calls, food service balance notifications, and other communications. After logging into Skyward Family Access, click on the Skylert button to see the phone numbers, email addresses, and text message numbers on file for your family. Select the different check boxes to indicate how you want to be contacted for each message type. The Skylert tool then populates the same information into SchoolMessenger to ensure we are calling the correct numbers for emergencies. It does not change your information in the Skyward student information system: if you have a change of phone number, address or email address on file, you must also report that information to the school office. See the Skylert Parent Handout for more information.

Students and guardians can use the built-in or add-on translation features in Chrome, Edge or Safari browsers.

The typical (not all!) username consists of the first 5 letters of the last name followed by the first 3 letters of the first name, followed by a 3 digit number. Someone with a name of JOHN LEE for example will need to fill in the extra characters with spaces. In this case, John Lee with a username of "LEE  JOH000", will enter “L”, “E”, “E”, space, space, “J”, “O”, “H”, “0”, ”0”, “0”.
