Troubleshooting
1. The email address in our TxEIS system that you used to register last year, MUST match the email address you used to create your Parent Portal account.
If you do not have a registration button, or you have it and it is faded and you cannot click, that is likely to be the reason why.2. If parents log in to their parent portal account and do not have the option to complete registration, this means we do not have the correct email on file for them in TxEIS. Contact your campus for help.
3. When parents are trying to link their students to their parent portal account, their portal id is not the same as the student id. Contact your school for help.
4. If parents forget their log in username or password, email lmartinez@baycityisd.org
