Families have access to password-protected information via:

Skyward Family Access - All students

• Sartell-St. Stephen ISD 748 uses Skyward Family Access to connect parents/guardians with real-time information regarding their student's academic profile including: attendance, conference scheduling, emergency notifications (via Skylert), meal account balances, meal items purchased, health information,  report card grades, student schedules, and transportation.
• Families should make sure their contact information (including phone numbers and email addresses) are current in Skyward Family Access. 
  • If an address update is needed, parents/guardians must submit a request to your child's school office or to Student Data Specialist Jennifer Ritter at 320-656.3701 x 1119.

Seesaw - Grades PreK-2

• Seesaw is a student management system for students at Oak Ridge Early Learning Center and Pine Meadow Primary School.

Schoology - Grades 3-12

• Schoology is a student management system that the Sartell-St. Stephen School District has selected to help our students focus on collaboration. Parents/guardians have a Schoology account to keep in touch with classroom assignments.

• It allows our students 24/7 access to classroom resources. We view this as our classroom in the "Cloud" (or on the internet).

Weather Communications

Minnesota weather can be difficult to predict; it is essential that parents/guardians anticipate and prepare for school closings, delayed openings, and early dismissals.  

Sartell-St. Stephen ISD 748, St. Cloud Area Schools, and Sauk Rapids-Rice Public Schools will work together this winter on weather-related emergencies.
