MySpringISD Portal Offers Resources for Students and Parents
- Students and families have access to MySpringISD, our district online portal, where all the great resources available to parents and students are housed.
- You can quickly access the my.SpringISD.org portal on our campus website.
- It’s important to remember that in order for students to access the online instructional resources, they need to use their login information.
- Parents, your login won’t work for this access because the instructional resources are tailored to each student and his or her grade level.
Parents can also log into the portal for access to the Home Access Center, where you can update your phone number and email if needed, so that you will be able to receive important district and campus communications. If you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset it here.
