Entering Family Change Request
On this page
If there is a change to your contact information, such as a new email address or phone number, you may be able to update the school's records through your Family Access account. You can only edit contact information for the family you are a part of, such as Family 1 or Family 2. Each family is separate from the others; Family 1 has an address and members that are different from Family 2. Family 1 members can revise the student's email for Student Information, as well as the guardian's phone and email for Your Family Information. Family 2 members can revise the guardian phone and email for Your Family Information, but cannot edit the student email address for Student Information. Your change will either be applied immediately or after it has been approved by the administrators at your child's school.
Note
If you need to change additional Demographic information, such as names and addresses, contact the school office. To modify the information under the Emergency Contacts heading, you must contact the school to make a change.
Fields that require approval are specified by administrators at your child's school. For example, requests to change certain information, such as your phone number, may require approval, while changes to an email address may not.

Entering family change requests in Family Access allows you to add or change email addresses and phone numbers for students or guardians in the Student Profile. To begin the process, let’s head to the Student Profile tile.
Here, we can use the Edit option to attach an email address to our student. Let’s enter and confirm the student’s email address. We can then save to complete the process. It’s important to note that until this change has been approved by our organization, “Changes Pending” appears after the email address is entered.
