Dear Westlake Academy Family:
It's time to re-enroll your students at Westlake Academy. We are pleased to announce this year that with the transition from TxConnect to ASCENDER, we are able to capture all your registration documents in one place making the process more efficient.
The deadline for re-enrollment of your students is Monday, August 3rd.
We appreciate your attention to this as it drives our planning and scheduling for the school year.
To begin the process, follow these three easy steps:
- Get ready before you log in to the system. Take a snapshot of your proof of residency documents (drivers license and utility bill. ) Addresses and names must match on these two documents per TEA requirements. Utility bills must be within 60 days of the date of enrollment AND may only be an electric, gas or water bill. No other items will be accepted. *
- Log in to ASCENDER. Note that your login credentials have remained the same. If you are unsure of your username or password and need assistance, select "forgot your password" from the login screen.
- Follow the instructions on the screen. The process is easy to follow and should only take about 20 minutes. Saving your changes at the completion of each screen is a great idea if you think you may be interrupted because it will allow you to pick up where you left off. For detailed instructions, please visit our website.
*
Students entering grade 7: there are two additional immunizations required for students entering grade 7 (Meningococcal and TDAP booster). These records are required at
re-enrollment. We understand that some of you may have appointments for these immunizations in the beginning of August. Please do not delay your re-enrollment but do provide proof as soon as is possible and no later than August 10th. Schedules and/or classroom assignments will not be given until all pertinent documents are received.
Westlake Residents: there are changes to Affidavit requirements for this school year - please learn more about the changes
here.
We hope that you find this year's re-enrollment process simple and efficient. All pertinent information related to student enrollment is also available on our
website
. Should you have any questions, we are happy to help! Just
email
us!
This week you should have received a
constant contact
from Dr. Bryson about the start of school and your preferences for your student's instructional delivery. Please take a moment to read this in its entirety and respond with feedback by this by Sunday, July 19th. Also,
please join us Thursday, July 23rd at 4 pm for a Facebook Live event
with Dr. Bryson where we will update you on all the latest developments and answer your questions.
Looking ahead: On Monday, August 3rd we will be sending you another communication and at that time you will be required to make your final selection for the first 9-week grading period for your student(s) by Monday, August 10th.
Thank you for your patience and your partnership - we appreciate you and your students more than you know!
