Skyward Family Access enables parents to play a proactive role in their student's education.
What is Skyward Family Access?
Skyward Family Access is a web-based component of Skyward, our student information management system. With this system you will now have access to the following information on your student(s):
- Student demographic information—Family and emergency contact information
- Student schedules—view your student’s schedule as well as teacher and contact information for each class.
- Student gradebook Information—View your student’s current grades and missing assignments
- Student attendance—view every absence or tardy recorded for your student in an easy to use calendar format.
- Student health information—view immunization records and other health-related information on file about your student.

Questions? Need help?
If you need help resetting your password or have problems logging-in, please contact your child’s school.
Please complete your ABCs!
Every fall, we ask our families to complete the Annual Back-to-school Check-in process or ABCs (formerly known as the Annual Demographic Update).
Families are asked to log into their Skyward Family Access account and take a few moments to complete this important process. It should take about 15 minutes (or less!) to complete the process for each child in your household and can be done on any mobile device or computer.
The ABC process must be completed for all students in the district - including both previously enrolled as well as newly registered students. If your student will be enrolled in Running Start, the process must be completed for them as well.
If you have questions about the ABC process, please contact us by email or call 360-473-1076.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Am I required to have a Family Access log-in?
At this time, the Bremerton School District does not require that every guardian or household have a Family Access log-in. However, it is is strongly encouraged at MVMS and BHS for parent access to grades and schedule information. We recommend that every household have at least one BSD Family Access log-in.
As we move toward more on-line paperwork and processes for the District (such as registration and forms that require parent review/signature), we will require that at least one guardian per student(s) have a BSD Family Access log-in.
-
Can my child’s other parent/guardian see or change my contact information?
No - unless you share a log-in as a family, or provide another parent/guardian your log-in information. Every parent/guardian’s contact information is kept separate in our system.
-
Can I just add my spouse or partner’s contact information to my account using my Family Access log-in?
Yes! Families may want to consider adding phone numbers and/or email addresses for additional guardians in the same household as “additional contacts” under the SAME BSD Family Access log-in rather than having separate log-ins for each guardian. Each guardian CAN have his/her own BSD Family Access log-in, but it might be easier for parents/guardians in the same household to share one log-in (one less log-in/password to remember!).
-
Do I have to apply for a log-in each year? Do I have to submit an application for each of my children?
Your username and password are good as long as you have children enrolled in our District. Your log-in provides access to all children in your family who are enrolled in our District.
-
What if my student information or address is incorrect? How can I update it?
If something in your student(s)' record is incorrect or you need to update your address, please contact your child's school.
-
How secure is the system?
The system uses SSL encryption, a common method of securing online commercial transactions. The district and our ISP have multiple firewalls. Any connection to the system requires a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection that encrypts data between your computer and our server. This is the same technology utilized by banks and credit card companies to protect data transferred over the Internet. We don't just let anyone have access to the system.
For further protection, the system creates a log record each time it is accessed. This shows who accessed it, when, and what was accessed. This information is readily available to the parent/guardian each time he or she logs in. Any discrepancies should be reported to the District Technology Department immediately.

- If you are unable to log-in, please contact your child's school, or the District Office for assistance.
- Multiple failed login attempts will cause the account to lock, and you will need to contact your child's school or the District Office to get it unlocked.

Why does it show my middle school/high school student is missing assignments when he/she says they have been turned in?
There are many factors that determine how soon a teacher can assess and return assignments. Essays and research papers take longer to grade than a quiz or daily work. Coaching, club sponsorships, and family commitments can also affect turnaround time, as well as a teacher's student load. We have encouraged our staff to post grades every 3 business days at the minimum for quizzes and daily work, and every 5-7 business days for research papers and projects. We urge students and parents to be patient as teachers do their best to return assignments and post grades as promptly as their schedule allows.
