Introducing Focus School Software

July 18, 2024

Wentzville School District families,

We are excited to introduce Focus School Software, our new student information system and parent portal. This new tool has replaced SIS K-12 and the previous WSD app. It is designed to be a one-stop shop for everything you need to stay connected and informed about your child's education.

In order to access your student's information for the upcoming school year as quickly and easily as possible when it becomes available on Aug. 2, complete the following steps this month!

(Currently Enrolled WSD Students)

1. Navigate to the Focus School Software website or download the new Wentzville Schools app.
   
2. Update your password. To do this, you'll need to click "forgot password." Enter the email associated with your current WSD parent portal account. You will receive an email with a link to your new credentials. "Click to view your new credentials" and then "click here to LOGIN to the Portal" with the new credentials. From there, you will be prompted to reset your password. You can then log into Focus with your new password.
3. Delete the old WSD and Student 360 apps from your phone and remove any bookmarks, quick links, or web browser shortcuts you may have saved from the old SIS K-12 portal to help avoid confusion.
4. Breathe! Take a sigh of relief. You're well on your way to a flawless transition to Focus with us.
   

The evening of Aug. 2, you will be prompted to complete an annual proof of residency form and other annual registration forms within Focus. New this year, you will not be able to view your child's teacher/schedule for the 2024-25 school year until the forms are complete.

Please note, class schedules and teacher assignments are currently being finalized and are not viewable in Focus at this time. This preliminary information was temporarily viewable to families but has since been disabled as they are subject to change. We appreciate your support as we navigate this transition!

You can always reach out to our WSD Technology Department for additional support or see our WSD Parent Tech University page for additional resources as we continue to build them out.
