Dear Parents and Guardians:

Promoting higher student achievement by enhancing communication between our teachers and the families of our students is a top priority in the Austin Independent School District. Therefore, we have implemented a new web-based program called ParentConnection at every one of our campuses, which will enable parents with students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 2 to view their child's attendance and report cards from any computer that has Internet access. Parents with students in Grades 3-12 will be able to use this system to view their child's assignments, current grades, and attendance. In addition, ParentConnection will provide parents with students in Grades 3-12 the opportunity to be notified by email regarding attendance issues and when there are significant changes in their child's grades.

An official notification letter containing a PIN (personal identification number) for each student and helpful information on how to set up a ParentConnection account was mailed to you in September of 2009.

Parent involvement is a key component to student success in school. It is our hope that through ParentConnection, you will be more informed and engaged in supporting your children's education in order to help them achieve greater academic success.

If you have any questions or would like additional information about ParentConnection, please contact the ParentConnection Facilitator at your child's school. For technical assistance with Austin ISD ParentConnection, parents may contact Student Systems Support at 512-414-9187, Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
