Information about ParentConnect -
ParentConnect is an awesome informational tool for parents to use to keep abreast of student’s grades and attendance. We have had some inquiries from parents asking for further explanation from teachers concerning grades and when grades are posted. I would like to go over some of the attributes of ParentConnect and how it functions so that we have a clearer understanding of expectations.
●Teachers are required to update grades every 2 weeks.
●When teachers update grades, there is a 24 hour lag time for the program to update the data.
●Because of flexibility in classroom teaching, due dates may be changed. ParentConnect is not the vehicle to use to keep up with upcoming assignments. The agenda book is designed for that purpose. Please check your student’s agenda book daily for assignments and project due dates.
●In order to download and print report cards, at the end of each 6 weeks, ParentConnect will not be updated the first few days of the next 6 week period.
We hope that you have found ParentConnect to be a valuable tool this year. You can check the Allen ISD website for the ParentConnect orientation and also check the Curtis website for more tips on navigating ParentConnect. We want to continue to work with you as a team for your student’s success.
Please read the PARENTS link for further information.

2008-2009 school year calendar is located on the Allen ISD website.
