ParentPortal Admin: New Student Enrollment, Online Registration, & Data Updates
These steps are completed in TxEIS Registration.
As students are enrolled in the district via ASCENDER ParentPortal, administrators must review and accept each enrollment request, monitor forms and documents submitted by parents, complete the student’s enrollment and assign a student ID, and provide each student's parent with a ParentPortal ID.
Campus: Accept Student & Issue ID (PDF) (prints separately)
Registration > Maintenance > Online Registration > New Student Enrollment
This page allows you to review pending new student enrollment requests received from ParentPortal.
As students are enrolled online in ParentPortal, an administrator must review each enrollment request and create a record for each registered student.
A list of new student enrollment requests received from ParentPortal is displayed.
You can re-sort the grid by clicking on an underlined column heading. It will sort in ascending order. Click it again to sort in descending order.
IMPORTANT: Before accepting new students, campus staff should verify that the student has not been enrolled before. Go to Registration > Maintenance > Student Enrollment and click Hist Directory to access the Historical Directory, and search for the student.
It is possible that a student was enrolled with a different ID before. For example, the student may have been enrolled previously with a state-assigned ID, but has now been enrolled with a social security number. Check each student carefully to avoid creating duplicate enrollment records.
❏ To search for a new student enrollment record, do one of the following:
| Search by Name | Type the student's first and last name. |
|---|---|
| Search by Key | Type the student's key. This number is generated by ParentPortal when the parent proceeds through the new student enrollment steps. |
As you begin typing the name or key, a drop-down list displays records that match the characters you have typed. From the drop-down list you can select the record.
❏ Click
to view the details of a pending enrollment request.
The student's enrollment record is displayed on Registration > Maintenance > Online Registration > New Student Enrollment.
Registration > Maintenance > Online Registration > New Student Enrollment > Register Student
This page allows you to enroll a new student using the information that was entered by the student's parent in ParentPortal.
This initial data serves as the basis for a complete student record.
NOTE: Verify whether Auto Assign Student ID is set to automatic or manual assignment of student ID numbers on Registration Maintenance > District Profile > District Information > Control Info.
| Student ID | Verify whether student IDs are automatically or manually assigned, as indicated in the Auto Assign Student ID field on Registration > Maintenance > District Profile > District Information > Control Info. • If student IDs are manually assigned, type a student ID. Leading zeros are not required. • If student IDs are automatically assigned, leave the field blank, and the system will assign the next available student ID when the record is saved. |

❏ Under Demographic Information:
| Grade | Select the student's grade level for the current school year. |
|---|---|
| Entry Dt | Type the student’s enrollment date, which is the first date the student attended the campus.

| Track | Select the attendance track in which to enroll the student. |
| Elig Code | Select the student's ADA eligibility code. |
| Next Year Student | Select if the student is enrolling for the next school year. If selected, the student's record will be saved with a record status 5 (i.e., not currently in district will attend next year). Since ASDR does not promote these students to the next grade level, Grade should be set to the next year grade level for any status 5 students. |
