Parents Can Complete Registration Forms and Update Information Online
Lyle School District has just switched over to a completely online registration system, giving parents access to all of the forms they have filled out on paper in the past. This move will save staff time and allow parents to ensure their children's information is input accurately. Called "Family Access," this new feature is part of Skyward, the same program currently used by parents to access students' grades, absences information and other ongoing student data. The system provides more security; only people who need and are authorized to see this information have access. Parents can update contact information there as well to ensure they get timely communications from the school.
There's no doubt that coming back to school or enrolling in a new school requires a lot of paperwork. And there's nothing worse than filling all of those forms out, then misplacing them or having them go missing when you send them to school with your child. Now, instead, parents can do this all online, as they have time, and go back to confirm that the information is right.
See the attached PDF for directions in how to use Family Access and the Online Registration and Information Update features.
In addition to the Contact and Health Updates, the school is required to collect the following forms/information. Many of these impact services that families can receive outside of the school setting, like EBT cards for food benefits or assistance in obtaining housing.
- Verify Military Status
- Verify Ethnicity/Race. The state has added several additional race categories. Feel free to change it if you feel your race is better identified than as previously reported
- Housing Questionnaire
- Media Release-We are required to inform you of your right to allow or disallow certain information to be published or released outside of the school
- Home Language Survey
- Food Service Application. Please review this application. There are certain programs that use this application for benefits such as: Pandemic EBT, ASB Waivers, Running Start Fee Waivers, and others. IF you do not qualify, please mark the form accordingly
- Income Verification. This is VERY IMPORTANT. To meet our Community Eligibility for FREE meals for our students, we must get an Income Survey from families. All information is kept strictly confidential and is only released to the Authorized Food Service Administrators for the District. Please help us keep all of our kids fed without charge.
