What is FBISD?
FBISD stands for Fort Bend Independent School District, a large public school district in Fort Bend County, Texas, established in 1959. Its mission is to help every student develop the knowledge, skills and character they need to succeed, and it serves a highly diverse community of students and families.
What is Skyward Family Access?
As former US congressman Bob Beauprez put it, “Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.” To support that partnership, FBISD uses Skyward Family Access, an online portal where parents and guardians can follow their child’s schooling, including grades, attendance, schedules and course information.
Family Access accounts are normally set up when you enrol your child. If your child is already registered but you have not received login details, contact your child’s school as soon as possible.
How to log in
- Go to the district’s family access page on the FBISD website.
- Click the link to the Skyward login screen.
- Enter the user ID and password provided by the district.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the “Forgot your Login/Password?” option or contact your campus.
