You don't need an account to browse your school's WCM website, but signing in unlocks the dashboard with your profile, events stream, and PassKeys — parents also gain access to notifications and student academic information.
💡Quick answers
- Do I need to register to use the school website? No — most content is publicly accessible; registration unlocks additional features like notifications and student profiles for parents.
- What's available from the dashboard after signing in? Your profile, a stream of events and announcements, PassKey apps, and account settings.
- What can parents see after signing in? Notifications (school messages and alerts) and student profiles (assignments, attendance, grades, cafeteria balance) — if the district has Community Engagement enabled.
