2020-2021 REVISED School Calendar
Ascender Parent Portal is LIVE- Returning & NEW Student Registration is Available
The new Ascender Parent Portal is now live and has replaced txConnect. This solution now allows for online registration which has been a feature often requested by our community. Letters were mailed to parents/guardians on June 3, 2020 which contain instructions on how to begin using this new parent portal. The parent letters were intended to be delivered in May, but due to technical problems the letters were held until the developers were able to release software updates to make the system work properly. We apologize for the delay, but hope that you will find it worthwhile.
To fiind out more details about how to complete the online registration process, visit our online registation information page.
