PARENT PORTAL INSTRUCTIONS

 

Parents of BOTH new students and returning students will need to access Parent Portal to create a NEW PARENT PORTAL ACCOUNT and/or electronically UPDATE AND SIGN ANNUAL FORMS (emergency and registration forms).  Find detailed instructions on how to do both below.

 

 

NOTE: You will need your student's six-digit ID #. It is the same one they use to purchase lunch at school, sign on to the school computers, and check out library books.  If you don't know your Centennial student's ID number, you can contact the PISD Help Desk at 469-752-8767.
