txConnection-Gradebook ParentPortal
by James Post
Palacios Independent School District is pleased to make available the txConnect parental portal that gives parents and guardians "read-only" Web access to their child's grades and attendance directly from the teacher's grade book. Teachers have been asked to maintain accurate and current electronic grade books to help parents track their child's progress at any time.
txConnect has some very interesting features that can help parents keep on top of their child's grades, attendance and school activities. Not only can a parent access their child's information via the Web from home, work, or any place they have an Internet connection, they can also subscribe to email "Alerts" that can be sent directly to an email address each time one of your children receives a low grade on an assignment or his/her average falls below a level you have set. Notification "Alerts" can also be sent to you for unexcused absences or tardies. Absences will update five times daily and grades/assignments will automatically update each night. Another great feature is the message board. The District and each campus will post weekly messages to keep you abreast of school-related activities.
HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR A PARENTAL PORTAL ACCOUNT?
|
You will be getting a letter from your student’s campus with their portal ID. The rest of the txConnect's registration process is self-administered, which means the parent chooses his/her user name and password. If a parent forgets or loses his/her password, or wishes to change it, he/she will go through an automated process to reset his/her password. Therefore, please write your username and password down and put it in a safe place. To create a username and password in the parent portal a parent/guardian must register through the txConnect's ' website as a New User. During the registration process you will be asked for your students’ portal ID. You must have your students’ portal ID to set up your parent account. Look for mail from your student’s campus with that information. You can also Email or Call the campus office to pick these up. Multiple students can be added to your account; therefore, only one account needs to be set up for your entire family. However, if more than one guardian wants to take advantage of the email alert feature in the program, each guardian may set up a separate user account. Once you get your students portal ID you can begin your self-registration click here .
