Registration

The Registration page allows teachers to register for access to txGradebook. The logon process is self-administered, which means that you choose your user ID and password during registration. If you forget or lose your logon information, or if you want to change your password, you must go through an automated process to reset your password.

To register, you must provide your staff ID and name. You must be associated with the school district for the current school year. Upon registering, you will create your user ID, password, and PIN.

If you already registered, you are not allowed to register again. If you forgot your user ID, password, and/or PIN, click the link under Forget your password on the Login page to go to the Reset Password page where you can reset your password using an automated process.

To register:

From the Login page, click the link under New User to go to the Teacher Registration page. The Registration Step 1 page is displayed.

At any point during the registration process, you can click Back to Login to cancel your registration and return to the Login page. Any data you entered up to that point is not saved.

Step 1:

1. In the Staff ID field, type your nine-digit staff ID number (usually your social security number or employee ID number). This data is entered here only once in order to verify your identity. You are not required to enter the data again unless you need to reset your password.

2. In the Last Name field, type your last name.

3. In the First Initial field, type the first letter of your first name.

4. Click Next.

• If the system detects that you have already registered, the system notifies you that your staff ID was found in the system and provides a link to the Login page.

• If you did not enter all required data, a red asterisk is displayed next to the fields that are missing data. You must provide the information to continue.

• If you entered the data correctly, the Registration Step 2 page is displayed.

Step 2:

1. In the User ID field, type a user ID that will identify you when you log on to the system, such as a combination of letters from your first and last name.

• Your user ID must be six to eight characters and must be unique within the district.

• Your user ID is not case-sensitive.

• If you type an ID that is already used, the system suggests an available alternative you can use.

2. In the Password field, type a password that you will use when you log on to the system.

• The password must be six to nine alphanumeric characters.

• At least three characters must be one of the following: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, or punctuation.

• Your password is case-sensitive.

3. In the Confirm Password field, retype the password exactly as it was typed above. The step confirms that you typed your password as you intended.

4. In the PIN field, type a four-digit numeric personal identification number (PIN) that you will use when you post data. It is recommended that you do not choose 1234 or 4321, as these are common and easily guessed.

5. Click Next.

6. If you entered any data incorrectly, a red asterisk is displayed next to the fields that have incorrect data. You must provide the correct data to continue.

7. If you entered all required data correctly, the Registration Step 3 page is displayed.

Step 3:

1. In the Question 1 field, select a question to which you will provide an answer. The questions are asked in the event that you lose your registration information.

2. In the Answer field, type the answer to Question 1. You will be required to answer the question correctly in order to recover your registration information. Be sure to select questions for which you will easily remember your answer. Answers are case-sensitive.

3. Repeat the process for Question 2 and Question 3.

Note:  You must select three different questions. You cannot repeat any questions/answers on the page.

4. Click Next.

• If you entered any data incorrectly, a red asterisk is displayed next to the fields with incorrect data. You must provide the correct data to continue.

• If you entered all required data, a "Success" message is displayed.

5. Click Finish. You are redirected to the Announcements page.

To reset your account:
