What is HISD Parent Portal?
The HISD parent portal is an online portal accessible anywhere on the web that parents can log in to and see all of their children in one place, their grades, assignments, scores, attendance, schedules, and school bulletins for each school their children attend. If you have one student in middle school and one in high school, parents will see bulletins for both the middle school and high school.
What is HISD Connect
The district’s Student Information System (SIS), HISD Connect by PowerSchool, includes student contact, enrollment, and demographic information, as well as grades and online resources.
Parents are given a unique code, or access ID, for each of their students and are able to use those codes to set up an account to access their students’ profiles through the parent portal. Parents who haven’t received their student’s access ID should contact their school.
