Enroll Your New Student Through Ascender ParentPortal

Parents enrolling multiple new students will create only one account and submit enrollment information for each student using that account. Note: To complete this online enrollment through Ascender, you must be on a desktop or laptop computer because it is not compatible with mobile devices.
In addition to providing important student information, parents will provide the District with the required documentation for enrollment through Ascender ParentPortal.
