PARENT PORTALThe txConnect parent portal allows parent’s to monitor their student’s progress in school.
The Parent Portal is a Web Based application that can be accessed from anywhere using an internet connection.
Parents may access the Parent Portal from home, work, or during soccer practice, etc.
HOW DO PARENTS ACCESS THEIR STUDENTS INFORMATION?
The campus generates a unique Portal ID for each student, which is used for setting up a parent account.
The Portal ID ensures security in accessing student’s information.
The Parents receive a student Portal ID for each student they have in the district.
An automated letter may be generated by the TxEIS software to mail the student Portal ID to the Parents.
THE PARENT LOGIN PROCESS
The Parent Portal may be linked from the District’s Web Page.
The first time the parent logs on, the parent will have to create a parent account.
The parent must enter at least one student Portal ID for the account to save.
SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
At the bottom of each Parent Portal screen, are language choices. Spanish will be provided and other languages may be added.
The static web page text is translated. The data is NOT translated; such as course names, assignment titles, etc.
