This guide relates to online student registration data, which is set up and accessed via ParentPortal.
Once parents have a valid Student Portal ID for an enrolled student, they can add the student to their ParentPortal account and access the student’s attendance, grades, and more. If the district has enabled parents to update a student’s registration data, a parent can complete annual online registration for the upcoming school year, as well as submit changes to the student’s current year data from ParentPortal, such as address and telephone number changes.
As parents update data for their students, campus staff must review and approve each change. These steps must be completed in ASCENDER Registration.
The parent can also review, complete, and submit forms via ParentPortal. As parents review and submit forms from ParentPortal, the campus staff can monitor the status and identify students who are missing required forms.
Follow these steps to monitor and approve data changes, and identify students who are missing forms.
See the ASCENDER ParentPortal Admin: Manage Forms for Enrollment, Registration, and Data Updates guide.

Registration > Maintenance > Student Enrollment > Forms
The Forms tab allows you to view the status of a student’s forms and maintain submission dates for hand-delivered forms.
Form information is displayed differently on this tab depending on the form type.
Some forms may only require the parent to acknowledge that he has reviewed the form. Other forms require the parent to input data. Some data input by parents must be approved by campus staff in order for the change to be made to the student’s record. These settings are established in ParentPortal Admin on the Forms Management pages.
The Forms tab is not available until you retrieve a student on the Student Enrollment page. For a new student, you must enter and save all required data on Demo1 before proceeding to this tab.
All current and next year forms are listed.
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.
A triangle next to the column heading indicates the column by which the grid is currently sorted and whether it is sorted in ascending or descending order.
