How do I update my information? 
Parents: Update your information in Skyward. Information from Skyward will be synced with ParentSquare.
Staff: Update your contact information in Employee Online. Staff should set the first row of their Employee Online Personal Info (phone numbers) to the phone number they would want to get a text from. 

What if I am a staff member and parent? 
If you are both a staff member and a parent/guardian in the Shawnee Mission School District, click on your name on the top right corner (web version) or switch account (in the app). There, you will be able to add your second account. 

If you are a staff member and the contact email in Skyward for your child’s account is an smsd.org email address, we advise using a personal email address for your child’s account. Forwarding settings can be utilized as needed. 
    •    Log-in with your staff account using Microsoft Sign In (“Sign in With Microsoft”); and your parent/guardian account using the email address associated with your student in Skyward.
    •    Once both accounts are added, you can easily switch between accounts.
