STAAR News
As we prepare to finish up spring STAAR testing next week at the high school, I would like to thank everyone for your help in ensuring that all runs smoothly on the campuses. At this point, we have preliminary results back for 5th and 8th grade reading, and those campuses are to be congratulated on their outstanding results! Good job to all!!
Summer Staff Development
At this point, everyone should be aware that we are offering several great staff development opportunities this summer both in the district, at Region 7, and at various districts nearby. If you have not seen the list, contact your campus principal. Each staff member should be registered for the two days that they would like to attend in order to gain credit for the two swap days in November. The deadline for getting registered for your two days is May 17, 2015. Your principals/supervisors should know what two days you plan on attending by that date. (If you have questions about registering for workshops, please contact the curriculum office or your campus principal.)
If you have a certificate that must be renewed, I would encourage you to take advantage of these great opportunities offered in the summer! (Requirements for renewing certifications can be found in TAC 232.11).
