Skyward Family Access

New Skyward Family Access Available


Parents now have the option to view the new Family Access interface. This design contains additional calendar options, parent notifications, message center, and allows parents to filter by student. It can be accessed at the top of the Family Access menu on the left where it says "Preview Family Access". This Family Access is in the final stages of development so look for more options to be released in the future. The current version of Family Access will be retired in February 2014 allowing parents time to become comfortable with the new version. In the interim, users can toggle between the new version and the current version. A video of the new Skyward Family Access is available here.

NWEA Testing Results
All Wayzata students in grades 2-7 recently completed the Measures of Academic Progress™ (MAP) test. MAP tests are aligned with the Minnesota state standards, determine your child's instructional level, and measure academic growth in the areas of Reading and Mathematics. For more information about MAP tests and how to access your child's score, click here.
