Two ways to stay connected for the 2026–2027 school year!
Wakulla County Schools offers families two important tools to stay connected with their child’s teacher, school, and district.
Focus Parent Portal is available online and through the Focus mobile app. It gives families access to your child's information, including schedules, grades, attendance, report cards, teacher communication, and important forms such as Transportation Registration and the Annual Enrollment Update. Families should also review their Focus communication settings and preferences to verify their email address and manage available notifications and alerts. A Focus Parent Portal account is required.
The Wakulla County Schools app mirrors our district and school websites, providing convenient mobile access to school news, social media updates, staff information, event calendars, important documents, emergency push notifications, and more. Families and community members can follow multiple schools in one place. Tired of relying on social media algorithms to see important school updates? The Wakulla County Schools app puts the information you need right at your fingertips.
Access Focus and download the Wakulla County Schools app today to stay connected throughout the school year!
