New Resources!

Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) scores are now available.  Parents can access to TCAP score reports that detail a student's performance on end of course and end of year state tests.  These reports also provide parents with next steps to support their child's academic success.  

Soon, parents will receive a printed TCAP score report from their student's school for each state assessment their child completes.  Parents can connect to the Tennessee Family Portal to access student's score reports and view more details.  The Family Portal Help Guide is a helpful tool which step-by-step goes through how to access the portal and TCAP score information.  Also "how to" videos are available as quick guides to navigate parents through the portal and how to read the score reports.

To access your account, expect a form similar to the one below coming home with your student.  This form will include the user ID or USID number needed to set up an account through the Tennessee Family Parent Portal.  Parents can also pull the student's USID number from PowerSchool under the Grades and Attendance tab on the left of the PowerSchool Portal window, as shown below.
