NISD Portal Login Information for Parents
Your child has the opportunity to access a variety of online learning tools provided to them by the district. These resources include the online reading program Lexia, and the online math program Imagine Math, as well as Google for Education tools. While your child will be using these in class, they will also have access to the resources at home.
All of these student resources are housed through the NISD Portal to enable students to easily navigate to desired programs. To access the portal at home, please follow these instructions:
From the internet, go to portal.nisdtx.org. It will bring up a page with the same information as shown below. Students may input their district provided username and password. Please see the picture below for guidance.
Portal Username: firstname.lastname
Portal Password: FLID#

K-2 Digital Citizenship 2019-2020
Students at Granger have recently completed Digital Citizenship Module 1. In this lesson, they learned about their digital footprint and being self-aware of their online presence. We encourage families to continue these conversations at home with your children. Below is a link to the Common Sense Media family tips link on Digital Footprints. Additionally, there is an embedded related family activity to reinforce the significance of our online presence and the importance of creating a positive digital footprint.

Lexia Information for Parents
Options for Logging in to Lexia at Home
NISD Portal via Chromebook or Computer Device
The ideal way to access Lexia is through the NISD portal on a computer or Chromebook.
Open Google Chrome (or other internet browser).
Navigate to portal.nisdtx.org or the grade level Symbaloo and click on NISD Portal.
Students can login with their username and password or login using their NISD Portal QR code (KG-1 only).
Once logged into the portal, click on “Core5 Lexia.”
Click “Log in with NISD Portal”
Wait until the login process is complete and you will now be logged into Lexia.
It is important that your child works without any help while using Lexia. All of the work your child does at home is recorded and reported to school. This way, teachers can see when help is needed and provide additional instruction at school.
