Terms and Conditions of Use
The Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) provides electronic access to attendance, demographic, grade, and other information related to its students via its Parent Portal system. This information is intended for the use of the student's parent(s) or legal guardian(s). I understand that the Dallas ISD reserves the right to grant or deny access to the Parent Portal system in accordance with the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and any court order. I also certify that I will advise my student’s school of any issues resulting in a need for change of access to student records.
The contact information, as well as any court orders, on file for the student determines who has access to the student's records and must be current and accurate to ensure the student's privacy. The user name and password used to access student information via the Parent Portal system should not be shared with unauthorized individuals. Dallas ISD will not be responsible for unauthorized access to or use of such information. By accessing the Parent Portal, I verify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child(ren) on the application and I have legal authority to obtain their educational information. I understand that submitting false information or failing to follow rules of use will result in the withdrawal of use privileges. While Dallas ISD strives to ensure information on its Parent Portal is accurate and up‐to‐date, the system does not contain official information. Official information is maintained in the student's cumulative record and/or the Student Records p

Official information is maintained in the student's cumulative record and/or the Student Records Services Department files. Any student demographic or contact information that is found to be incorrect should be reported to and corrected by campus administrative staff. A parent, guardian, or student who believes grade information is incorrect should promptly contact the Teacher of Record for the class in question. Any data presented via the Parent Portal is subject to change without notice. Although Dallas ISD strives to provide access to student information via the Parent Portal system at all times, technical difficulties, including those beyond our control, may make such access temporarily unavailable. As a result, continuous, uninterrupted access to the Parent Portal cannot be guaranteed. Dallas ISD is not liable for any damages to your personal equipment incurred when connected to the Parent Portal System.
