I enjoyed reading your article about the Skyward Family Access plan for the Kent School District. However, I\u2019d like to point out that my situation is quite different.<\/p>\n
I am a 14-year-old eighth-grader and I attend Northwood Middle School. I live in a family of six children and I\u2019m the fifth.<\/p>\n
Ever since Skyward was introduced in 2006, my older siblings and I have really benefited from the information it provides. I personally like the program because it can let me check up on how I\u2019m doing in each class individually and it lets me see what specific areas of a class I\u2019m struggling in.<\/p>\n
In my junior high experience I\u2019ve always had Skyward available and I check it at least twice a week. For example, I like to know what grade I got on a geometry test the day that I took it. I really appreciate how diligent my math teacher is in grading our daily quizzes and our chapter tests and then updating our Skyward accounts by the next school day.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, my mom checks my grades on Skyward maybe twice a year. She knows that she can trust me and my siblings to do quality work and get it turned in on time. She believes (and I agree) that our grades are our own responsibility and that we should be able to keep them in balance without the constant hovering of our parents, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n
Multiple times in the past I have noticed something in my grade book that I disagreed with and I alone have contacted my teacher to get that flaw fixed. I think that the ability to do this really reflects how responsible students are.<\/p>\n
I think that Skyward is a great resource for Middle School and High School students and I think that it is one of the best things that the Kent School District has incorporated into their system.<\/p>\n
