"PSTAAR Data"
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you know, our students were administered Practice STAAR (PSTAAR) tests in 6th Grade Reading and Math, 7th Grade Reading, Writing, and Math, and 8th Grade Reading, Math, Algebra, Science, and Social Studies. Our students worked hard and our data are available.
In 8 of the 10 tested areas, our data show that we are in the 30% range for Approaches. We are still striving to increase our Meets and Masters percentages. While these data are not where we want them to be, we are confident that we will see tremendous increases when the STAAR data are available in late May, early June.
To assist us with our attainable increases, we need your help! Below are a few actions you can take to assist our students with being prepared for the next grade level.
- Require your student to attend school every day.
- Monitor your child's grades and contact his/her teacher if you have questions.
- Encourage your child who received a Saturday School invitation to attend these sessions.
- Talk with your child about the importance of being a positive role model.
Our goal is for all students to learn, perform well, and be prepared for the next grade level. With your partnership, I know we can make this happen.
Your igKNIGHTed Principal,
Dr. HP Hyder, III
