The portal will allow you to check your child's assignments in each class. You will be able to see the title of the assignment, whether it was classwork or an assessment, and your scholar's grade on it. This gives you more specific information regarding their progress and/or makeup assignments. You may also review your child(ren)'s attendance information in the portal.
Please ask your child for the letter they received, or contact Dr. Chambers at cchambers@compassrosesa.org for your unique ID information.
The official link to our portal is https://txeis20.txeis.net/ParentPortal/login?distid=015838. You may also click the Login button below. Select "Create Account" and follow the directions. Again, you will need the access code to see your child's grades.
