    Frequently Asked Questions

    What if I'm experiencing difficulties with my login/password?
    Please contact Heather Ross (206-236-3330) and she will be able to help you or refer you to receive additional help.

    How often are grade books updated in Skyward?
    Gradebooks are updated at different intervals by different teachers. All teachers have committed to updating their grade books mid-quarter and at the end of the quarter. Many teachers update more often than that. If you have questions about updates, please contact the teacher directly.

    What do assignments on the missing list mean?
    In Skyward, if an assignment is past due or marked missing it appears on your child's missing assignment list. When looking at those assignments, pay careful attention to any special scores or comments as they may explain the situation further. For instance, there may be a code of TI (Turned In). This means that the assignment is turned in, has yet to be scored, but is not really missing. If you have questions about a specific assignment, you need to contact the teacher.
