Follett Parent/Guardian Access

Follett Parent/Guardian Access

Galveston ISD allows parents to access their child's Follett Library account, granting them the capability to:

  • View library activity: See a child's current and past library checkouts.
  • Block specific books: Prevent a child from checking out books that parents deem inappropriate.
  • Search the catalog: Browse the library's collection by title, author, or subject.

To login you will need to make sure that your email address and other parent/guardian information in Skyward is updated and accurate.

If you update your information in Skyward will need to wait 24-48 hrs before your access has been created in Follett.

Logging into your Follett Parent Account

  • Make sure that your email address and other information in Skyward is correct.

    Only the first 2 family/guardian members listed under Family 1 (Primary Family/Guardian) will be granted access.  Valid email addresses must be used in Skyward and those email address will match the information in the Follett online catalog.

  • Enter an email address that is on file with the school and click "Get Access Code".

    This access code will be sent to the email that you have entered.  This email address will also have to match the information that you have in Skyward.

    A webpage prompts the user to enter their email address.
     

    If you enter an email address is not tied to your student it will display, "No students found matching email". You will need to try a different email or update your email address.
     

    A screen displays the text 'No students found matching email'.

  • Once the access code arrives in your email, enter it to gain access.

    Please note the following:

    • The access code expires in 10 minutes. If it expires, you will need to click “Resend Code.”
    • If you enter an invalid access code, an “Incorrect Access Code” message will appear.
    • The email will be sent from no-reply@follettsoftware.com with the subject line “Additional User Type Access Code.”
    • If the code is sent more than once, and you request it a second time, you will need to refresh the screen and re-enter your email address before proceeding.
       

    A login screen from Galveston Independent School District prompts for an access code.

  • Once you have logged in, your information will appear in the top-right corner of the webpage.

    If you have more than one student in the district, a drop-down menu will be available. To view another student’s account, simply select their name from the list.

    You will repeat the login process each time you access you parent Follett account.

    Congratulations — Have successfully logged into your account.
