Is your child prepared to pass STAAR?

It's almost the 4th week of school. The first assessment testing is just around the corner. No one is excited about those assessment tests...but they must be done. And all must do well. This year marks the "you have to pass to pass" rule for elementary school. If a 5th grader doesn't pass STAAR, then the 5th grader may not be promoted to the 6th grade. 

State Law Requirements

The Student Succes

s Initiative (SSI) was created by the Texas Legislature to ensure that all students receive the instruction and support they need to be academically successful in reading and mathematics.

Under the SSI grade advancement requirements, students are required to pass STAAR grade 5 reading and mathematics tests to be promoted to sixth grade. Additionally, students are required to pass the STAAR grade 8 reading and mathematics tests to be promoted to ninth grade.

It's a tough job being a student.
