Beginning of the Year Forms For the school year, all LCISD campuses will be using Skyward’s Beginning of Year form functionality to reduce the number of paper forms students are required to have signed and returned at the start of the school year. This new functionality will be a seamless integration with the Skyward Family Access Center and will save you, the parent, time in filling out these forms as well as the campus staff in entering that data in our student information system. Instructions for Completing Online Forms: Completing the Beginning of Year online forms through Skyward Family Access is very easy and will take just a few minutes. Below are your steps for completing these forms when the link opens around the end of July: Click on the Family Access login button on the LCISD Login with your LCISD Family Access credentials. Click on the Beginning of Year Forms link in the Family Access main menu. Complete each step, making changes as necessary, and clicking the “Complete Step X” button at the bottom of each form. Once all forms are complete, click the “Submit Beginning of Year Forms” button on the last page.
