Seniors - Important Diploma Information!

Hello Seniors and Senior Families!

Its 2026 -- Happy Grad Year!!

I know that June still feels quite a ways away, but these next few months are going to fly by!  As we gear up for graduation, there will be a few "homework assignments" that we need all seniors and their families to complete.    Don't panic -- this homework is super easy and will take you less than 5 minutes! 

We are getting ready to order your diplomas and we need you to double-check your name in Skyward.  We will order your diploma, printing First, Middle and Last name, based on what we have in Skyward.  

HOW TO CHECK YOUR NAME IN FAMILY (PARENT) ACCESS

Login to Family Access and find your Senior.   From the Dashboard (home page) of Family Access, find your Senior student.  Directly to the right of their photo will be the name that we have on record for your student (see the linked screenshot).  You can login to Family Access here:  https://www.isd411.org/portals/family-access

HOW TO CHECK YOUR NAME IN STUDENT ACCESS

Login to Student Access.  From the home screen, click on the "Portfolio" tile.  This will pull up a list of your report cards.  There will be a file folder icon and you will see your name.   The name that you see is what we have on record for you.  

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE EXACT STEPS!!  Looking for your name as it is on record in any other area will not show the full name (middle names are dropped in A LOT of areas).  Please check for spelling errors and/or name errors.  If the name that you see is correct, no further action is needed on your part.

If one of the following scenarios applies to you, please email hendricksonh@issaquah.wednet.edu with the change that needs to be made:

*A first name, middle name or last name is misspelled;

*Your legal name and name in Skyward is "Fredrick Jack Jones" but you have always gone by "Jack Jones"  and you want "Jack Jones" printed on your diploma;

*Your legal name and name in Skyward reflects your cultural heritage and you choose to use an Americanized version of that name and prefer that name to be printed on your diploma or vise-versa;

*Your name in Skyward reflects your preferred name (i.e. "Katie" is listed in Skyward, but your legal name is "Katherine") and you want your legal name printed on your diploma.

YOU MUST SUBMIT NAME UPDATES/CORRECTIONS NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2026

Updating the name on the Diploma will NOT update what is reported on an official transcript.  Note -- a diploma is not a legal record of your graduation; the official high school Transcript is the legal record of your high school career and graduation.

We are not able to re-print diplomas without incurring an additional cost.  If you do not complete this "homework assignment" by the due date and discover that your name on your diploma is incorrect for any reason, we can request a re-order with the corrected information, however the cost to do that is around $50 to $60 and it must be paid by the student/family.  A re-print request can take 6 to 8 weeks to be received.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Heidi Hendrickson via email at hendricksonh@issaquah.wednet.edu or via telephone at (425) 837-7849.
