FAQs for Parents
Have an FAQ for Parents section that takes them through all of the things Skyward can do:
Look up grades
Pay on line
Look up attendance/report absence
Look up teachers/student schedule
Etc.
This information would be district defined based on configuration. To assist with this in your district, resources do exist in our Family Access Toolkit (see: skyward.com/parents).
Many districts have had success linking to the Toolkit from their websites and in timely parent-facing communication (e.g. as parent-teacher conferences are approaching, send a message with a link to the tutorial video on how to sign up for a conference). Other approaches I’ve seen include a link to the Toolkit from the district’s main Skyward login page or embedding the videos directly on to school and district websites.

John Jennings' comment is helpful. I'll implement his suggestion to include a link to the Toolkit on the Skyward login page.
