SSO - Single Sign On

As you know, TEA provides a Family Portal on the Texas Assessment website with specific resources for parents to help their children. TEA strongly encourages all local education agencies (LEAs) to enable single sign on (SSO) in their local parent portals so that parents can quickly access their child’s state assessment results in the Family Portal. A major benefit of enabling SSO is that parents will be able to log in to the Family Portal without having to know, look up, or contact their school for their child’s unique access code.

 

TEA is requesting each district  have an automated method for families to access state assessment results in the Family Portal by May 31, 2024.  Region 9 maintains data in this Google Sheet to ensure every districts has the opportunity to provide the SSO feature.  Districts should add to the district or campus website parent space to include SSO information.
