How do I view and approve my child's course requests?

Your child's school may require you to approve his or her course requests before they are submitted to the school for scheduling.

The Summary page on the ParentCONNECTxp website will show the status of course requests for each of your children [>>]. When the status is "Parental/guardian approval pending" you can approve or reject your child's course requests on the Course Plan page in ParentCONNECTxp.

Review the courses on both the Required Courses tab and Elective Courses tab. Make sure you submit your approval before the submission window closes. Note that the school can continue the scheduling process without parental approval if it is not received in time.

If you reject the course requests, your child will need to modify them and resubmit them for your approval.

Important: Only the parent or guardian who originally rejected the course requests can approve them after they have been resubmitted. If another parent or guardian signs in, they will see that parent/guardian approval is pending but will not see the approval buttons.

Approval buttons: These buttons appear only if your child has submitted their course requests and the school requires your approval. Click the Approve button to send the requests to the school. Click Do Not Approve if you want your child to make additional changes. If a parent or guardian rejects the course requests, the same parent or guardian must approve them after they are resubmitted.
