End of Course Testing

THIS IS THE WEEK!



The End of Course Test (EOCT, EOC, or EOC Test) is an academic assessment conducted in many states by the State Board of Education. ... Since the EOCT is an official, state-administered test, any violation or interference can result in the invalidation of scores of all students taking the exam on that subject.



Required- End of Course Exams and Tutoring



The English I E.O.C. (End of Course) Exam is on December 7.

The Algebra I E.O.C. and Biology I E.O.C (End of Course) is on December 8.

The English II E.O.C. (End of Course) Exam is December 9.

The U.S. History E.O.C. (End of Course) Exam is December 10.



DO NOT TAKE THESE EXAMS LIGHTLY, NO STUDENT SHOULD COMPLETE ANY E.O.C. EXAM IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR.



Please remember E.O.C. Tutoring is mandatory for Senate Bill 463

Financial Aid Requirement Form

In accordance with Texas Education Code (TEC), §28.0256, beginning with students enrolled in 12th grade during the 2021-2022 school year, each student must do one of the following in order to graduate:


Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA);

Complete and submit a Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA); or

Submit a signed opt-out form.


Laws and Rules

In 2019, the 86th Texas Legislature established the new requirement for Texas students to complete a financial aid application (or formally opt-out) in order to graduate. The State Board of Education (SBOE) adopted rules related to the new requirement in January 2021.


Opting Out

A student may opt-out of the financial aid application graduation requirement if:


a parent or guardian submits a signed form;

the student is 18 years of age or older and submits a signed form; or

a school counselor authorizes the student to decline to complete and submit the application for a good cause.


AT minimum all are required to complete a FASFA I.D
