Hello Everyone!!
I have had several questions come in regarding seniors, EOC testing, IGC's, etc. To date TEA has not communicated any information regarding any of these topics. As soon as I get word I will forward it.
As always, if there is anything I can help with please don't hesitate to contact me.

Counseling Zoom Meeting - 67548
The purpose of this meeting is to give you all the latest information that we have to share and to be able to have some time for Q&A. For the zoom meeting I will have Cheri Hendrick from testing and accountability, Sam Gonzalez from special education transition, Ruthie Kneupper from CTE, and myself. We will all be sharing information that we have gathered and also give you all time to ask us any questions that you are currently needing guidance on. Hopefully we will be able to answer your questions, however; for the questions we don't have answers for, we will work diligently to find the answers for you. My hope is to have weekly zoom meetings during this unprecedented time to be able to keep you all abreast of any information that we receive. To register for this session, please go into connect 20 and enter session #67548
