To receive Skyward access, please refer to the district website here.  Please bring the completed form along with your photo ID, as we are only able to provide access to parents/guardians with custody. We will then send you your Skyward username and password.

If you are unable to log in to Skyward, it might be necessary to reset your password. Please come by the front office as soon as you are able to and we will reset the password for you. Please remember to bring photo ID. You can also contact the Help Desk.

Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, absence requests can be submitted through your Skyward Family Access Portal. 

This will help us keep accurate records and make the process faster and more efficient for everyone. Regular school attendance is crucial for academic achievement, and we want to partner with our families to ensure every student has as much time in class as possible.

Medical and doctor’s notes, court documents, or religious instruction will still need to be physically turned in to the school for documentation along with the absence request. If your family does not have internet access, paper notes are still acceptable in this situation.

(We know that for medical absences it is inconvenient to submit the request in addition to turning in the medical note directly to the school. ​We thank our families for their ​patience with this ​new ​district policy)

What counts as an “excused” absence?

After you submit the absence request, school staff will review it to ensure it meets the board policy for an excused absence. Here are the most common reasons that may be excused:

· Your child is sick (Illness that lasts longer than 5 consecutive days requires a doctor’s note)

· Doctor or medical appointments

· Required court appearances

· Death in the immediate family

· Religious holidays or instruction

· Approved school activities or events

· Therapy appointments (speech, occupational, ABA, etc.)

· Attendance at a DCF-supervised program

· Significant community events (with principal’s prior approval)

· Other special situations approved by the principal

· Insurmountable conditions, like extreme weather or public health concerns

Each absence request will be reviewed in accordance with School Board Policy 5200.

Please note the following regarding "excused" absences.
- Once a student returns to school from being absent, the parent/guardian has 7 calendar days to submit the request to excuse the absence.
- Students are allowed 10 non-medical excused absences per school year. Once these 10 days are used, a doctor's note is required for any additional absences.

Planned extended absences must receive principal approval. Please contact Mr. Shuler at least 2 weeks prior to the planned absence.

If your child will no longer be at Tuskawilla Middle School, please make sure to come by the front office and withdraw them as well as turn in any books your child may have received from the school. You will then receive all the necessary paperwork to enroll your student at their next school.

If your child is struggling, please contact the teacher as soon as possible to discuss the situation. You can contact the teacher using Skyward or find their contact information under Staff section of our website. You may also want to schedule a parent/teacher conference by clicking here. 

You may find the Free/Reduced Lunch Application on the SCPS Dining Services website. Once you fill out the application, you will receive a 4-digit number for your student to provide in the cafeteria when getting lunch.

If your student does not remember his/her lunch number, the cafeteria cashier can look it up for him/her once the student provides his/her name.

The Seminole County Public Schools Families In Need (FIN) department can help struggling families in many different areas. Please contact the FIN department by calling (407) 320-0255 or visiting the FIN website.
