Web tool provides access to student information
Parents and students now have easier access to grades, attendance and other important facts by using the Tahoma School District Web site.
The student information is available through the Skyward data management system, which the district currently uses. Included in Skyward is the Family and Student Access tool, which provides a secure Web link. Using Family and Student Access allows parents or students to check the latest information about grades, the student’s attendance record, immunization status, and how much money is in the student’s school lunch account.
Skyward access information is available from the main office at each school.
