I have children at different schools. Will I need a user name and password for each child?

No, under most circumstances, one user name and password will provide you with access to information for all your children. If you do not see all your children once you log in to Skyward Family Access, contact us at FamilyAccess@wlcsd.org.

Do I have to apply for a new user name and password every school year?

No, once you receive your initial user name and password, it stays with your family until your youngest student graduates from high school or is no longer enrolled in Walled Lake Schools.

Is there a difference between a parent and student username and password?
