Electronic progress reports and report cards for the remainder of the year will be available on Parent Access. If you have not signed up for a Parent Access account, please follow the steps below. If you need to add a student to your current account, there are directions for that as well!
Paper report cards will not be sent home.
How to sign up for Parent Access, 1st Student:
Go to ConroeISD.net/Parents/Students/Parent Access Center
Choose Register
Complete all fields, which includes your child’s student ID. This number was sent to you by email when you registered for school or it is on their last report card from last year. If you are unable to locate it, please contact us at ContactPowell@ConroeISD.net and we can help you.
Once you have completed the application, it will let you know that it was successful and you will receive an email in 24 hours to set up your password. If any information is incorrect, it will let you know which field to correct.
How to sign up for Parent Access, if you already have an account set up for an older child:
Go to ConroeISD.net/Parents/Students/Parent Access Center
Log in by entering your UserID (email) and Password but DO NOT HIT ENTER. Instead, scroll further down on that webpage and click on the “Register” link. It will then prompt you to add another student. Once that is complete, then every time you log in to Parent Access, it will first ask which student account you wish to view.
If you have a student in KG or 1st Grade and wish to review their Report Card:

In June, you will receive a printed Report Card by mail that covers the entire year.
Morning Car Line
Each morning we have parent volunteers open car doors for our Gators. We try to have 6 adults outside, but there are times we don't have 6. If you arrive to Glen Loch and no one is at the cone number to open your car door, please know your child can get out of the car without assistance and walk into school. This will also help the flow of the car line. If your child needs assistance, please pull up to a spot where an adult is located. We will gladly assist your child.
Thank you to each and every one of you who have or still volunteer to open car doors each morning. Also, please consider volunteering for our morning car line.
