Online grades in new Skyward gradebook available Monday, Sept. 17
Walla Walla Public Schools is now using the Skyward gradebook for parents to track their child's grades online. This convenient service will be available for parents who have students in grades 6-12 beginning Monday, Sept. 17.

"We decided to institute a two-week break-in period, district-wide, so teachers could become familiar with the system and receive training on the new Skyward gradebook before going 'live' with the Family Student Access grades component," said Ron Higgins, Assistant Principal at Walla Walla High School. "Since the grades portion of this system is brand new to us, we wanted to take time to ensure there were not incorrect or inaccurate grades being displayed. There are some teachers who are piloting the Standards Based Grading model and they may need additional time and training to have all their grades updated on Skyward."

Currently, Skyward Family Student Access users who attempt to view grades are met with a friendly Skyward Gradebook Coming Soon message when they click on the Grades module in Family Student Access. This message will be removed once the system is activated Monday, Sept. 17.
