Porter High School Digital Programs

Porter High School Parents,

We are excited to share information about the key programs and tools we use here at Porter High School. Whether you're familiar with these platforms or new to New Caney ISD, this guide will help you navigate them.

If this is your first time using any of these programs, you may need to create an account to gain access. Our goal is to ensure that you have everything you need to stay connected and support your student's learning.

Should you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our campus media specialist. We're here to help make your experience smooth and successful!

ClassLink is New Caney ISD's Single Sign-On (SSO) system, allowing students to easily access all campus and district programs, like Canvas, with just one login. While parents don’t need to use ClassLink themselves, it's helpful to understand how it works. In case your student needs to access school programs from a personal device instead of their district-issued Chromebook, knowing how to log in can save time and ensure they stay connected to their learning.

Canvas is New Caney ISD's Learning Management System, where teachers post classwork, homework, and other instructional materials. As a parent, you can create your own Canvas account to observe your student's activity, track their assignments, and view feedback from teachers.

Check out the images below for step-by-step instructions on how to connect with your student on Canvas and stay engaged with their learning progress.

Skyward is New Caney ISD's official Student Information System (SIS) and gradebook. Both parents and students can use Skyward to stay informed and up-to-date on key academic and personal information, including:

- Official grades

- Progress reports and report cards

- Class schedules

- Emergency contact information

Skyward provides easy access to the essential details you need to support your student's academic success!
