Public Schools utilizes a Skylert notification system. Parents may
change the way they receive notifications through their Skyward account
by following these steps:
Skyward is now available to Families and Guardians on an individual
basis. Parents will now see their personal contact information when
logging in, and will have the ability to set their own contact
preferences. This ability is limited to their Skyward login -- other
guardians will control their own information under their own
credentials.
In addition, contact information is now being automatically uploaded for
each guardian. Previously, the automatic sync only occurred for Family
1, Guardian 1 member. Parents are encouraged to check their contact
preferences in Family Access prior to the school year, while using this
module throughout the year to make personal contact information updates.
1. Log into Skyward.

5. Click on edit. (located to the right of the student’s name)
6. Make changes and click save.The changes will need to be made for each student.
Please allow 24 hours for changes to be updated.
Family 1 group: The first person listed in the Family 1 group will be
able to update all setting. The remaining person(s) in Family 1 group
will be able to update the additional notification section only.
Family 2 group: The person(s) listed in the Family 2 group will not see the Skylert link in Skyward so they will not be able to make changes to Skylert and will not receive alerts. Their information is not uploaded to Skylert from
Skyward. Therefore, if they would like to receive alerts, then they
will have to have a member of Family 1 enter their information as an
additional number.
