Hawk News!
May 2022
Hawks,
It is that time where we begin to close the year with our many end of the year celebrations, testing, fieldtrips, ceremonies and more. As we close the year, we want to thank our teachers, students, parents, faculty and staff for assisting us in making this school year a great one.
STAAR 2022
House Bill 4545: Accelerated Learning Committees (ALC) and Targeted Accelerated Instruction (TAI)
HB 4545 became effective on June 16, 2021 and the Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires compliance with and adherence to all the requirements. HB 4545 requires students who were unsuccessful on any of their STAAR exams to attend 30 hours of TAI outside of the normal school day. HB 4545 also requires ALC for grades 3, 5, and 8 for students who do pass the Reading and/or Math STAAR test. The committee will be comprised of an administrator, the teacher of record for the current grade and the next grade, as well as the parent of the student. These committee meetings will be held once the 2022 STAAR results are released., the final week of May 2022. Our campus will be notifying parents of the ALC committee meeting date and time. ALC meetings will begin on June 1, 2022.
STAAR testing will begin May 10th and continue to May 18. Please speak with your student and remind them of the importance of doing their very best on each exam. Also, please make sure your students are not scheduled for any doctor’s appointments on test days. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Loss of Credit
As per chapter 25.092 of the Texas Education Code a student may not be given credit for a class unless the student is in attendance for a least 90 percent of the days the class is offered.
Some students are being informed if they are not meeting the 90% academic requirements and are given the LOC plan that they must complete, in order to gain credit for the courses. Parents are also being informed and given the Compulsory Attendance Agreement. Students have the opportunity to complete any hours owed by attending Soaring Hour (after-school tutoring) and/or designated Saturday School. Once hours are completed and verified, credit will be granted for the courses.
