Need to Make Changes or Confirm
Student Information???
Have you changed phone numbers, or have a new email address?
Or maybe you need to add or delete someone from your student’s
pick-up list. You are able to make most of these changes by logging
in to your Family Access account. If you have moved, proof of
residency is required. The Registrar’s office will need a current land
-based utility bill, a signed lease agreement (with student listed as
an occupant), or a signed contract on a new home. Thank you for
your help in keeping your student’s records updated. If you have
any questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office at
832-223-3819.
