Dear Enumclaw School District Families,

Our district has been working on a major information system upgrade: transitioning from Skyward SMS 2.0 to Skyward Qmlativ ("New Skyward"). After completing the majority of our migration over the Mid-Winter Break, Skyward Family Access is now available again.

Many families use Family Access through Skyward to view their student's lunch account, grades, attendance, discipline, and more.

Family Access Login

Food Service Payments

We are still working on the functionality of food service payments at this time. We will provide families with an update when the system is available to accept payments. 

Skyward Mobile App Users: Action Required

For staff, families, and students who have the Skyward mobile app already installed, the app must be configured for Qmlativ.

Configuration Instructions

Your Skyward Login ID was provided to you when enrolling your first student in the Enumclaw School District. Your password was also chosen at this time. Occasionally, Skyward may ask you to choose a new password to keep your account secure.

At the beginning of each school year, families receive a questionnaire to determine eligibility for McKinney-Vento services, as well as for Free/Reduced Meals during the school day. OSPI recommends a mid-year check-in as an opportunity for anyone with a change to their housing circumstances to submit information.

The McKinney-Vento information can be found at https://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/page/mckinney-vento-homeless-students IF YOU HAVE STABLE HOUSING, YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THIS FORM.

Free/Reduced Meal applications can be found at https://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/o/esd/page/free-and-reduced We encourage all families to fill out this form, even if you think you may not qualify.

For questions, please contact your school counselor Davette Eneboe at Davette_Eneboe@Enumclaw.wednet.edu or 360-802-7159 or ESD Student Support Services at 360-802-7125.
