 ♦ We recommend using a computer rather than the app for creating your account

 ♦ If you ALREADY HAVE an Ascender Parent Portal Account, please log in to Ascender Parent Portal  and follow the on-screen prompts to complete registration. 

♦ If you do not see a prompt to begin registration, you must ensure your child is linked to your account.  To link your child to your account, you must obtain each child's unique portal ID from the campus registrar, or fill out this form: Parent Portal ID Request Form. Your email address for the Parent Portal must match what we have on file in the student information system.  

♦ If you DO NOT have a Parent Portal Account, follow the directions below or use the  Ascender Portal Parent Guide to create a new account. After setting up your new account, you must obtain a parent portal ID specific to each child.  To obtain your student's Portal ID to link them to your portal account, contact the campus registrar, or fill out this form - Parent Portal ID Request Form.

It will be important to maintain data throughout the year. If you change your phone number, be sure to log in to your portal account and change that information. Once registration is closed, you will be able to click on the maintain data tab.
