Understanding the STAAR Performance Level Descriptors
Students in grades 3-5 will be assessed using the STAAR test this school year. It is important that as parents you stay informed about the progress your child is making throughout the school year. At the campus, we take two benchmarks that serve as mock STAAR tests. The benchmarks are given in the fall and spring. By spacing the assessment apart, we are able to gather information about the student's present levels. Additionally, we use 9 weeks checkpoints to provide additional progress information. Parents and students should understand the different performance level descriptors and what they mean to your child's academic needs.The four levels are: Did Not Approach, Approaches, Meets and Masters.
If a student receives a performance level of Did Not Approach, it means that the student was unable to demonstrate a general understanding of the knowledge and skills expected for the grade level. If a student receives a performance level of Approaches, it means that the child was able to demonstrate a general understand of the knowledge and skills for their grade level. Students who achieve Approaches on any given assessment will require intensive tutoring in the next grade level. If a student achieves Meets, it means the child was able to demonstrate a solid understanding of the knowledge and skills for their grade level. Minimum interventions will be needed to support a student in this proficiency level. If a student achieves Masters, it means that the student has mastered their grade level and demonstrated great understanding of the knowledge and skills in their grade level. The goal for all students should be to achieve a Masters level on their STAAR test. Students in this level will be supported by the campus with enrichment activities in order to maintain their Masters level. Please follow up with your child's teacher for more information regarding what your student's current performance level is according to the data that has been collected this school year.
Additional information from the Texas Education Agency can be found below.
Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) provide a snapshot of students’ academic characteristics based on performance on a given STAAR assessment. PLDs are statements that describe the specific knowledge and skills students typically demonstrate at each performance level: Masters Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, and Did Not Meet Grade Level. They translate the general policy definitions of the STAAR performance categories into grade and subject- or course-specific descriptions of student achievement.
PLDs are linked to the state-mandated content standards, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Therefore, standard setting committees have used them to help ground committee members in the content standards and guide their recommendations. PLDs can be used as a tool in classroom instruction because they assist teachers and schools in better understanding a student’s performance on a given STAAR assessment. PLDs can also enhance parents’ understanding of their child’s academic strengths and weaknesses and can help the community at large better understand state test scores and the level of performance required of students on STAAR.

School Fundraising
Sarah Farms Moo-LA Program
The labels from all varieties of half gallon and gallons of Sarah Farms Milk (Fat Free, 1% Lowfat, Reduced 2%, Vitamin D and Chocolate) are worth 10 cents each! That means $1.00 for every 10 labels we collect. This money comes direct to our school. We can use it for field trips, P.E. equipment, library books or whatever we decide. Ask your family, neighbors and friends to save their labels for you.
Stay tuned for contests we will host this year among class and grade levels.
Find Sarah Farms milk in the dairy aisle at these stores: Big 8, Walmart, Sam's, Food King and Walgreens.
