Through Skyward Family View, parents/guardians may access student record information at any time. This is the main advantage for students and parents to have access to their academic records at the same time. For example, a student may be discussing the status of their grades online or waiting for feedback from a teacher for an assignment that is due. A parent or guardian would have access to the same information in order to help out.
Skyward also works with myki cards and smartcards which are commonly used across Australia. If your child has his/her own myki card, then you can add this to your Skyward account so they don’t need to remember their card number every time they want to check their progress on Skyward Family View.
