| Note: txGradebook and txConnect Parent Portal are products of the Education Service Center, Region 20. |
txGradebook's integration with the iTCCS and TxEIS Student systems makes it unnecessary to perform imports and exports of data in order to populate the records. Data is shared between the systems, thereby eliminating much of the work needed to maintain two systems. The application provides real-time data that is updated any time grades, attendance, or student/teacher schedules change. Data is written directly to the district database. Teachers may access txGradebook anywhere with an Internet connection (school or home).

Administrator Support
1. I've noticed pictures aren't showing up txGradebook anymore. Why is that?
Response: During October-December, 2015, pictures were moved from their previous location on the server to be updated with new photos. This should be back online by December 11, 2015 as ECISD Technology Operations works in collaboration with the Education Service Center, Region 20.2. The Semester Average appears to be pulling only from quarter 2, and it mirrors the quarter average. How was the average determined?
Response: All grades from the Semester are combined together. When that happens, either the Power Law or Average takes effect. If there are standards that are taught in the first 9 weeks, not the second, the grades for that standard are still part of the 2nd nine weeks' grade.
As a result, the 2nd nine weeks grade and the semester grade are the same. The first semester grade and the second semester grade are the averaged to get the final grade for the year.
