Track Your Students Attendance & Grades
Ever wonder if your student is tardy or absent and didn't mention it? More importantly, did you see your student's progress report or report card before it 'got lost in the mail'? Put all of your wonders and worries to rest with the Parent Access System sponsored by AISD.
This system allows you to track your student's attendance, grades and other important information with the click of your mouse. How? Log onto: https://access.austinisd.org and click the PARENT box. Follow the steps to create a parental account that will allow you to access your student's information. You may request access for more than student, but please understand that not all schools are using this system. Your request will be received by staff at McCallum and verified for accuracy. You must present a photo id at the school for security reasons and to complete the request for access.
A couple of things to keep in mind are that the program you will be granted access to gets information downloaded every 24 hours from the campus' main system. This means that you will be looking at yesterday's information. Also, please be mindful that the teachers have their own method of grading and posting to their gradebooks. If you have concerns about grades, please contact your student's teacher. Finally, when your student is absent and turns in a note (within the 48 hour acceptance period) please allow a couple of days for this to be processed. The attendance clerk is trying to keep up with almost 1,800 students and works as efficiently as possible.
With all of this in mind, you're encouraged to sign up for an account even now. Once your access is granted, it's good until your student graduates or withdraws. Should you have further questions, please contact Ms. Eslinger at 414-7519 or Mrs. Valadez at 841-7312. We look forward to assisting you and your student achieve educational success at McCallum High School.
