Announcements and News
Skyward Family Access
Your child’s success is a team effort, and we want to make it easier than ever for you to stay informed and engaged. The Skyward Parent Portal is your one-stop shop for a whole-child view of your KIPPster’s academic progress, attendance, class schedule, and more. It’s a powerful, easy-to-use tool designed to keep you connected to their journey at KIPP Texas.
Getting Started
If your child is new to KIPP Texas, the primary parent/guardian on file will automatically receive an email invitation to set up your Family Access account.
- When to Expect It: The invitation is typically sent 24–48 hours after your student’s information is pushed into Skyward.
- Check Your Email: The automated emails are usually sent early in the morning (around 5:00 a.m. CST).
Time-Sensitive Link & Troubleshooting: The setup link expires in 24 hours. To request a new one, go to the Skyward login page and click “Forgot your Username or Password.” Enter the email address KIPP Texas has on file, and Skyward will send a replacement link.
Adding Additional Guardians: To set up a separate Skyward Family Access account for another parent or guardian, please contact your KIPP Texas school’s front office directly.
