Skyward – Family Access
Starting with the 2014-15 school year, LCISD guardians will be
able to make changes to items such as phone numbers, email
addresses, emergency contacts, etc., all online through the
Skyward Family Access Center. Guardians will be able to
make these changes through Friday, September 19. After
September 19, many of those areas will be dialed back, but
some areas, such as email address, will always be available for
changing online.
There is a video on the Family Access page of the district web
site that walks parents through how to make changes. This is
the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l53jXRi4ro8
