STAAR EOC testing this spring
We have had some questions regarding the state’s STAAR EOC testing expectations for this spring. Please find, attached and/or linked below, a letter from GISD and RHS explaining expectations and implications for our students this spring. Please read it carefully as this will affect the graduation status of your child for 2021 to 2024. In addition, students who do not have any performance or growth data, i.e., EOC results, may potentially be scheduled in intervention-based classes or programs for the 2021-2022 school year. This will have implications on student schedules. We are prepared to keep our students safe while testing this spring. See the letter below.
Are you dual credit for 2021-22?
Students interested in dual credit classes for the 2021-2022 school year will need to complete an online application with Dallas College. Please see Ms. Cox in the counseling office or email her for assistance. You can also reach out to your academic counselor for more information!
Current Dual Credit students will have an opportunity to take 1 dual credit class this summer for free with Dallas College! The summer school dates are July 6-August 5. See Ms. Cox or email her or your counselor for information on how to register for this opportunity. Registration closes April 14th at 3:30 PM.
Rowlett has a SWIM TEAM!
GISD has a new natatoriam! If your child is interested in joining our swim team, see info below. No experience is necessary.
Try outs are tentatively set for July 23 and 24, 2021.
We will offer practices this summer for new and returning students, Monday-Thursday 8-10am. All students must be cleared through Rank One.
