Overview
Welcome to ASCENDER TeacherPortal!
- Teachers must re-register each year before logging on, as all TeacherPortal non-administrative user accounts are deleted at the end of each school year. Administrative user accounts are retained.
- To register, you must provide your staff ID and name. You must be associated with the district for the current school year. Upon registering, you will create your user name, password, and PIN.
- A staff ID can be associated with multiple user accounts, which allows you to have both a teacher account and one or more administrator accounts. The user name must be different for each account.
IMPORTANT: Upon initial account creation or log on to the portal, the End User License Agreement (EULA) for ASCENDER is displayed. Users must accept the agreement in order to proceed.
NOTE:
- If you forgot your password or PIN, click Forgot Password on the Login page to go to the Reset Password page where you can reset your password using an automated process.
- If you forgot your user name, click Forgot User Name.
Teachers who do not have administrative access are directed to the Announcements page upon logging on. The Admin menu is not displayed in the main menu, and some reports that require administrative access are not displayed in the Reports submenu.
- Teachers of courses where students must meet UIL eligibility requirements (e.g., band or athletics) can be granted access to the UIL report in the Reports menu. The UIL report allows a teacher to view the students' working cycle averages for all of their courses to determine UIL eligibility and locate students who may be at risk of losing eligibility.
- Teachers can be given permission to create campus-wide or course-wide groups of students in TeacherPortal. Special group reports are available that provide data for the student groups.

| LAST CYCLE/END OF SEMESTER | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Under Semester Grades: End-of-semester information includes the following: |
|||
| Exam |
Enter the student's semester exam grade. If the student has a pre-posted exam grade, it is displayed and cannot be changed.
|
||
| Working Average |
The student's working semester average is displayed, based on the data entered up to this point. The value is recalculated every time you access the page, click Calculate Semester Averages, or save grades.
NOTE: If a cycle grade is blank, the semester grade is not calculated. |
||
| Override |
This field allows you to override a student's working semester average with a different grade (e.g., if the student's working cycle average is 69, you may give the student a cycle grade of 70, depending on district policy). You can also type N/G to assign an override grade of no grade. |
||
| Posted Average | The field is blank until a semester grade is posted. Then, the posted semester grade is displayed. |
||
For campuses that do not have semester exams every semester (e.g., a four-semester campus that has semester exams at the end of the second and fourth semesters), the semester averages are only calculated if there is a semester exam for the current semester.
• The Exam field is displayed.
• The Exam field is not displayed. |
|||
| Working Final Grade |
The working final grade includes the posted semester average for any previous semesters and the working semester average for the current semester. NOTE: For alpha grades, it is possible that the student's working cycle average from the Assignment Grades page will differ from the Working Average and Working Final Grade on the Cycle Grades page. The Cycle Grades page uses the highest grade in the range from the corresponding grade conversion table to determine the working average. For example, if the teacher posted a cycle average of 83, it will be converted to a B in the campus records. The Cycle Grades page reads the posted grade B and uses the grade conversion table to determine the Working Average and Working Final Grade. If the highest grade in the range in the grade conversion table is 89, the grade 89 is displayed on the Cycle Grades page.
• If a semester average exists for only one of the first semester course sections, the semester one average is used to calculate the working final grade.
Example 1: (Cycle 1 + Cycle 2) / 2 = working final grade for cycle 2. For students who were enrolled in a different section of the same course during a previous semester, the working final grade includes the posted semester average for the other section. |
