- When parents sign up for the Skyward app, they will select a four-digit code.
- Put in your four-digit code and continue to the app
- Select the “hamburger button” (the triple bar or trigram symbol) on the top right.
- From here you have two options, the first option (the message tab), will show you through the notification when your student was marked absent and what you need to excuse. With the attendance tab you simply submit a request.

- Either of these two options will open a pop-up.
- Complete the following information:

- Date/Time
- Reason
- Comment (optional – but very helpful, especially if you want to “excuse 2nd hour”)
- If you have more than one student and want this attendance request submitted for another student (maybe your family will be attending a funeral and all students need to be excused) then you can “Copy” the request and select additional students.
- Submit
To submit a request from the website:

- An “Add Request” pop-up block will open

- Once you have “Saved” you will receive an email notification that an absence request has been submitted.

Safe Walking Route
Walking and Transportation Plan
To access our digital school walking plan, please visit:
Crossing Streets
We would like to encourage you to make your children aware of the inherent dangers involved when crossing streets. Please remind them to look both ways before crossing any street and to cross at intersections. Also, please be aware of the speeding restrictions and stop signs.
Bus Zones
There is a designated bus loading zone on the South/West side of our school. The buses unload students between 8:25-8:45 a.m. each day, and load them at3:35 p.m. on M/T/Th/F. All bus students load at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Please do not use the bus loading zone at any time and drive with extreme caution when passing the bus zone exit.
Parent Drop-off and Pick-up
The parent drop-off and pick-up area is at the front (north) of the school as shown below (please pull as far forward as possible at all times):
*Drop Off and Pickup Procedures:
1) Crossing Guard: All students, parents, and staff members should always follow the directions of the crossing guard.
2) Drop-off: Students should be dropped-off in the designated pull-through area in front of the school. Parents should remain in their cars to drop students off. If they need to get out for any reason, parents should park in the visitor parking area north of the drop-off area. Students should never be dropped off pick up in the parking lot. School begins at 8:50 so drop-off should take place between 8:30 and 8:45 AM. Students should exit the vehicle on the passenger's side for safety reasons.
3) Pick-up: Students should be picked-up in the designated pick up in the designated pull-through area in front of the school. School ends at 3:35 so parents should arrive a little before or at that time. All parents/guardians who wish to exit their vehicles to pick up their child–including preschool and kindergarten students–must park in the guest parking lot north of TWES and walk across the crosswalk to pick them up. No one should exit their vehicle while in the pull-through lane. Students should enter the vehicle on the passenger’s side for safety reasons.
4) Bus Zone: Do not drop off or pick up your children in the school bus zone at any time.
5) Bicycles: Due to safety concerns, all bicycles, roller blades, scooters, and skateboards should be walked on
school property. Please walk bikes to the bike racks and lock them during the school day for security
purposes. No one may ride roller blades, scooters or skateboards in the hallways, classrooms, or in the
