AISD Offers Extended Technical Support to Parents for New Grading System
AUSTIN, Texas—As Austin ISD’s first six-week grading period ends, it is offering extended hours for technical assistance to ensure parents can access grades online.
This past summer the district converted to a new web-based program for accessing student’s grades, assignments and attendance called GradeBook. The system also provides the opportunity to communicate with teachers.
In order to assist parents through issues parents may have with the new system, the district is providing extended hours for technical support.
Parent Cloud and GradeBook Tech Support
I sincerely regret the recent experiences that many of you have encountered with GradeBook and the Parent Cloud. Regrettably, while the transition to this new program was well intentioned, there have been technical difficulties.
