AP Corner
Dear Parents of 5th grade students,
The first round of Math and Reading STAAR testing for 5th grade students was completed on April 9 & 10, 2019. As fifth grade is an Student Success Initiative (SSI) year, students must be given opportunities to pass the STAAR test before entering 6th grade.
STAAR scores for the first round of STAAR testing should be in the parent portal on approximately April 30, 2019. Information on how to view your child’s scores will be given to you once the scores are in the system.
All students who do not pass the 1st round of STAAR testing will need to have a grade placement committee (GPC) meeting to review your child’s progress in the area of Math and Reading.
The second round of STAAR testing for all 5th grade students who do not pass the first round of STAAR testing will be Monday, May 13, 2019 (5th Math STAAR retest) and Tuesday, May 14, 2019 (5th Reading STAAR retest). ALL fifth grade students will take 5th Science STAAR on Wednesday, May 15, 2019.
More information will be forthcoming as STAAR scores come in later this month. Dr. Stevens, Assistant Principal, will be your contact person for all STAAR related questions.
