ALL STUDENTS MUST BE REGISTERED ONLINE

If you need help registering online, you may ask for assistance at the front office of your student's school.

Please login/create account at Ascender Portal to enroll your student(s).

***If your student had withdrawn from MISD and did not re-enroll at any point in the previous year, they will need to be registered as a new student.

You will need a valid email address to register an account.

New Students Info

Returning Students Info

  • Student information needed from you during enrollment will be:

    • PREVIOUS SCHOOL RECORDS
      Withdrawal record, as well as the last report card, from previous school attended required.
    • PROOF OF RESIDENCY 
      To verify that the student and/or either parent is a resident of the district, Merkel ISD requires this information upon enrollment. A utility bill is preferred.
    • SHOT RECORD
    • SOCIAL SECURITY CARD
    • BIRTH CERTIFICATE
    • PARENT/GUARDIAN INFORMATION AND CONTACTS
      Merkel ISD will record the name, address, and contact information of the person enrolling a student. (The student must be enrolled by the student's parent, guardian, or other person with legal control of the student under a court order.)

    ***For more information, please contact the appropriate campus.

  • Parent Portal is the online portal for the Merkel Independent School District. By registering on the parent portal, parents and guardians can follow their children's progress at any time. Parental communication and involvement are critical to any student's success, therefore we believe this online access will allow parents to monitor their child's progress more often. Students can also create separate accounts to track their grades and attendance.

    Create a portal account:

    If you do not already have an account with Merkel Independent School District, parents must create a Parent Portal account to register a new student or submit a returning student form. Each parent/guardian needs only one account for multiple children - all registered MISD students can be added to a single account as long as said account holder is a parent/guardian. Accounts will remain active as long as you have a student enrolled at MISD (you do not have to create a new account every year).

    Portal ID Info:

    Parents/guardians also need a portal ID to get started. Each student should receive a parent portal letter (sent home in a school folder or through mail). If you or your student have not received a Parent Portal letter or Portal ID, please contact the campus office directly for that information. The Portal ID is a one-time code issued to each student that links the student to that account. To view student information, users must enter the portal ID in the parent portal account. All accounts linked to your Portal ID can be used to view student grades, attendance, shot records and disciplinary records. Only parents/legal guardians have access to the annual registration form. The parent's primary email address on file with the district must match the parent's email address used by the parent portal to access and update information on an account.
