Skyward Family Access Now Available!
Access Your Student's Records Online!
Lawrence Public Schools have mailed letters to students' primary guardians. The letters ask guardians to: 1) verify/correct your student's information, 2) provide a current email address, and 3) return the Verification Form to your child's school. When your Verification Form is returned and any necessary changes are made, we will email your Login ID and Password for Skyward Family Access. This verification process enables us to ensure the accuracy and privacy of your student's information.

SchoolMessenger Notification System
Lawrence schools value ongoing communication as a key to maintaining positive relationships between school and home. We also appreciate the importance of parent involvement to a student's academic success. Our schools use a variety of communication tools to stay in touch with parents: personal interactions, phone calls, emails and letters, as well as school newsletters, Web sites, parent conferences, meetings and events. To enhance our existing communication efforts, the Lawrence Public Schools have partnered with SchoolMessenger, an emergency notification, parental outreach service.
While SchoolMessenger will not replace current modes of school communication, it is an additional tool our schools will use to reinforce our strong commitment to ongoing communication. We will be using SchoolMessenger to inform parents of important school events and to notify parents in the event of a school emergency. As always, it's important for parents to provide schools current phone numbers, including emergency contact information. If your family's contact information has changed, please notify your child's school.
PARENTS: OUR PARTNERS
Parents involved as partners in their child's education: that's one of the keys to the success of the Lawrence Public Schools. Parents participate in their children's education by volunteering in the classroom, reinforcing school curriculum with activities at home, serving on school site councils and parent-teacher organizations and by maintaining open communication between home and school.
If a school concern arises, talk first to your child's teacher. If additional assistance is needed with the issue, make an appointment to speak to your child's school principal. If the concern isn't resolved to your satisfaction, contact the district office at (785) 832-5000 and ask to speak to the administrative liaison for your child's school.
Lawrence Public Schools believe effective schools maintain positive relationships between home and school. We welcome parent input and participation.
