FAQ's
Q: What is
ParentCONNECTxp?
A:
ParentCONNECTxp is a convenient home-to-school
collaboration tool that allows parents/guardians of AISD
Middle and High School students to keep track of their
children’s academic progress online via an easy-to-use web
site. Parents/guardians may visit the password-protected
site to view school program announcements as well as their
students' schedules, grades, assignments, daily and period
attendance, and course history.
Parents/guardians can
also easily communicate with teachers via e-mail or
receive automatic e-mail notification of unexcused
absences, missing assignments, or failing grades. They can
view their child's student information through the
ParentCONNECTxp web site after they have registered and
received a User ID and Password. To maintain the integrity
of student data, the ParentCONNECTxp application is a
"read-only" system.
Q: Who is eligible to use ParentCONNECTxp?
A: All
parents/guardians that have legal rights to view their
children’s school records. Students are NOT allowed to
register themselves to access this site.
Q: Can more than one parent/guardian have access to a
child's record?
A: Yes,
with the same login. We are allowing one User ID and
Password per household. Parents must have legal rights to
view their child's school records. Legal parents/guardians
not living in the same household will be allowed a
separate User ID and Password providing they meet special
conditions. See next question.
Q: I do not live in
the same household as my child, can I still gain access to
my child's information on ParentCONNECTxp?
A: Yes,
under a few conditions. First, you must download the
Parent/Legal Guardian ID Verification Form. Fill in the necessary information, and have
it notarized. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view
this file. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can
download it free from Adobe)

Second, send the completed form to your student’s school
or House Office. Upon receipt of the notarized
Parent/Legal Guardian ID Verification Form, your
ParentCONNECTxp User ID and Password will be mailed to you
within 7 working days.
Q: How do I add additional children to my current
ParentCONNECTxp access?
A: Please call 972.727.0489 to make that request. You will
be required to have legal rights to see that child's
records before the child can be added to your current ParentCONNECTxp access.
Q: Is ParentCONNECTxp “user-friendly”?
A: Yes. The
tool is extremely easy to use. For a general explanation
of the interface see the
ParentCONNECTxp Orientation.
(You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this file. If
you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can download it free

Q: Can I reach ParentCONNECTxp from any computer?
A: Yes. All
you need is Internet access to view the ParentCONNECTxp
website.
Q: What are the minimum computer requirements needed to
use ParentCONNECTxp?
A: You will
need an Internet Provider. The system works best on the
following internet browsers:
Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater, AOL 5.0 or greater, or
Netscape 4.7 or greater.
Either IBM or MAC is fine.
Q: What if I do not have a computer in my home?
A: You can
use a computer from anywhere with Internet access to view
the ParentCONNECTxp website. For example the public
library, your local senior center (if you are a senior
citizen), Internet cafes, or any computer that has
Internet access.
Q: What do I do if I lose my password?
A: ** You will be required to show a picture ID for
verification. **
You must go to your student's school and show your picture
ID. Then a hard copy of your User ID and Password will be
provided to you. Please call ahead to your student’s
school so that they may have that information waiting for
you.
** Please note that NO passwords will be given out over
the phone. **
Q: What do I do if I get "locked" out of my
ParentCONNECTxp account?
A: As a
security measure, if you have three failed attempts at
inputting your User ID and Password the system will lock
you out from accessing your account. This protects you
from having someone “hack” into your account. The system
will automatically reset itself within 60 minutes. There
is NO need to contact your student’s school about this
problem.
If you try logging in after the safety timeout, and you
are still unsuccessful you will need to treat this as a
lost password and follow the procedure for lost passwords.
Q: What do I do if I feel that the ParentCONNECTxp
information is incorrect?
A: First,
please click on the yellow "Home" button which is located
on the right side of the ParentCONNECTxp banner. Make a
note of the "last updated" date listed at the top of the
page. If this is date is several days behind the current
date, there is a possiblity that the information you are
viewing may not be accurate. Please contact your student’s
school or email your student's teacher to verify.
