Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I did not receive my email with my username and password, what do I do?
A: First, please check your spam filter. Second, visit wylieisd.parentlink.net and use the 'Forgot password?' link. Your login is your Skyward Family Access username. After you click 'Send Email' you will receive an email with your login credentials. If you do not have or know your Skyward Family Access username, please contact the registrar or campus secretary at your child's school.Q: Why does the data in the app not match what I see in Skyward Family Access?
A: Skyward Family Access contains live, up-to-the-minute information. The app receives a nightly "dump" of data and presents a snapshot of your student's information as of the previous day. This delay accounts for the occasional discrepancy of information. However, whenever there is a discrepancy, Skyward Family Access always trumps the app.Q: I use a Windows Phone, can I still use the app?
A: Yes. You can go to http://wylieisd.parentlink.net/m/ on your Windows phone to access the app information.Q: If my contact information is incorrect what do I do?
A: Your contact information is pulled from the Skyward Family Access system. You will need to login to Skyward and make any changes or contact your campus to change restricted information. For Skyward help, please visit our Skyward webpage.Q: I want my other family members to receive notifications too, can I add their information?
A: Yes, simply login to the system (either online or in the app) and click the icon with your name (on the last page). Click the pencil in the upper right hand corner and add the appropriate phone, SMS/text number(s) and/or email address(es).Q: Why can I only view my information not my spouses?
A: When you login to the app you will see any guardians listed for each child, but you will only see detailed information for the parent who is logged in. If you and your spouse share a login username and password, then you will only see the parent whose account that login is associated with. Every parent should be using their own account.Q: Why don't I see my child's grades/assignments?
A: Grades and assignments are pulled from Skyward. If your child's grades or assignments are not posted in Skyward, then they will not be available in the app at this time. Please check with your child's teacher to discuss when assignments and grades will be posted.Q: Can I access lunch menus on the app?
