Ride Connection
Over the next few weeks, campuses across the District, including ours, will be launching a new website. When that happens, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the refreshed design and set new bookmarks for your browsing convenience. You can also download the new Conroe ISD app in your device’s app store and begin customizing the pages and news you want to see.
Additionally, in the coming weeks, you will receive information about our new mass communication system called Alerts. Be on the lookout for texts from 98900 when the new system is implemented. Emails and texts may have a slightly different look, but they’ll still contain all of the great information we share. These transitions are part of a bigger initiative to bring efficiency to the District’s communication platforms, and there are more exciting updates to come!
WATCH D.O.G.S. at Ride
Check out all the opportunities available at our WATCH D.O.G.S. program at Ride Elementary. Do you have any questions? Feel free to contact Angela Fonville (aakinfonville@conroeisd.net) or call 281-465-2804. We are excited to have Watch DOGS at our school!
Keeping Youth Safe Online
Know:
Know what apps your child is using. Some apps are designed to hide photos and other content.
Know youth aren't where you think they are online. Once you, a parent/ guardian, are on a social site (Facebook, Instagram), your child has already found a newer, hipper one.
Know who your child's friends are online.
Know how much time your child is spending on their device and apps or games.
Safe gun storage is critical to preventing unintentional shootings, suicide, and other tragedies. Learn more about the Keep ‘Em Safe Texas initiative and view resources at the provided link. Gun locks are also available through the Conroe ISD Police Department.

School Zone Safety Tips
The speed limit in the Ride school zone is 20 mph. This is to ensure the safety of all of our community members during very busy times in the morning and afternoon. As families enter and exit the car line, please take care to drive slowly and carefully.
In addition, cell phone use in a school zone is prohibited. As you enter areas around schools, please end your calls and put your phone away.
The CISD Police and Montgomery County Sheriff's Department patrol our school zones to ensure everyone's safety, and will issue citations if necessary.
Thank you for your help in keeping our community safe!
Personal Google Chrome Profiles interfering with CISD Accounts and Applications
To assist in keeping the CISD Single Sign On (SSO) portal from interfering with personal Google accounts, it is best to either create an individual Google profile account for each user. Each CISD student would benefit in having their own Google User desktop shortcut.
Student accounts are not to be used for personal use, only for completing assignments. Please sit down and review with your student what is in their drive and delete any personal items.
CISD Parent Portal
The district has transitioned FROM Parent Access Center TO Parent Portal. You will login similar to the way your child does for school (similar to the SSO) to access school information. All parents/guardians will need to enroll to create an account. You will need the email address that is in your child’s record. Once you enter the email, you will be prompted to create a password.
Please click Parent Portal Directions for instructions or go to Conroe ISD Webpage then Parents/Students to access the link to the Parent Portal.
CANVAS
Canvas can be viewed as the virtual classroom. This is where assignments can be found. There are calendars, links to needed assignments, resources, a message center for students to send questions and comments to each teacher, and more. Students and parents can go into settings to be notified when announcements are sent out by teachers.
SSO - Single Sign-On - All CISD students must login through the SSO in order to access any of their online programs.
Having Difficulties Logging Into Parent Canvas Account?
Please remember that the exact same credentials are used to login to both the Parent Access Center (PAC) and CANVAS (which is case sensitive).
School Messenger
All SMS messages received from the Conroe ISD District Office and your child's campus will begin with "Conroe ISD:" and come from the subscribe code 67587. If you have not yet opted-in to receive SMS messages, you can do so at any time throughout the school year by texting "Y" to 67587.
