Our amazing Ortega parents, guardians and families are an invaluable part of our school community. If you are ever in need of assistance, please contact the Ortega main office at 512-414-4417.
How Do I Access the Parent Cloud?
Go to my.austinisd.org to access the Parent Cloud. If you do not have a Parent Cloud Account, you can register for one online. The Parent Cloud serves as the primary resource for all of the services provided online to our parents. This site gives parents direct access into their child's classroom information, registration to your child's campus, district-wide information and links to other often used services.
Family Resource Center
Families are also welcome to visit the Martin Family Resource Center (FRC) at Martin Middle School. The FRC is a gathering place for families to connect with one another, to access resources, to explore ways to support their child and to engage in the community.
The services offered at the Martin FRC include:
- assistance with basic needs, such as food, housing, clothing, jobs and health care
- referrals to partner agencies, who can provide services to students and families
- ongoing support and case management for families
- classes and workshops for parents
The FRC staff includes a Director and a full-time social worker, as well as a social work intern from the University of Texas. The team is available to parents or guardians of not only Martin students, but also students from Martin's feeder elementary schools—including Ortega.
The Martin Family Resource center can be found at 1601 Haskell Street, Austin, TX 78702.
