School-specific information

Enrollment

If you haven’t already done so, all new and returning families should complete the re-enrollment process to ensure we have the most accurate information to best serve all our students and families. Completing re-enrollment also holds your student’s spot at YES Prep for this upcoming 2020-2021 school year.

All YES Prep families should have received an email from Skyward@yesprep.org with their Skyward Family Access Account information. Skyward is our new and improved student information system. You will need to login to the Skyward Family Access Center to complete re-enrollment.

If you did not receive an email from Skyward@yesprep.org, reach out to your campus from 9 a.m. - 12 noon, Monday-Friday.

Please note: This does NOT apply to our Spring Branch Partnership Schools: YES Prep Northbrook Midle and YES Prep Northbrook High.

More step-by-step instructions on logging into Skyward Family Access Center can be found below.
