What is Family Access?Family Access is a Web module that allows guardians to access student information over the Internet using a secure login initially assigned by the school district. School districts can enable and configure the areas of Family Access that best meet the district’s and communities needs. Certain areas of Family Access are configured at the district level while other areas can be entity specific.

Getting Started – Login and PasswordSchool districts will assign the initial Login and Password. Login information is not case sensitive. Depending on the Family Access configuration, Login and Passwords can be changed and or retrieved if a family email address is recorded in WESPaC.

Enter your Login and Password. Click on the

‘Login’ tab.

Student InformationNear the top of the page is a Student selection drop down list that contains the students associated with that guardian. Family Access displays information for the students that are visible in this list. Guardians can toggle between students to view their individual information. Next to the Student selection is the School selection drop down list that displays both inactive and active entities associated with the student. When the user changes the entity in that list for a student, the information related to that entity displays in Family Access.

Account InformationThis area allows guardians to configure Family Access user accounts. If districts activate this option, guardians can change their login and password information, as well as update their email information online. If this option is selected and a guardian does not have an email address on record, Family Access will prompt them to enter their email address when they log in.
