Upcoming Common Assessments
Changes to Common Assessments:
TEA has made changes to the dates of several of the Interim Assessments. We have updated the local assessment calendars and are working on updating the timeline of events. Please note the following changes:
1. There has been a date change for the following interim assessments.
Has testing window Changed? YES
New Testing Window Dates: November 22 - December 16
5th grade reading
6th grade reading
7th grade reading
8th grade reading
2. The 5th Grade Science Interim Assessment originally scheduled for November 4-22 has been eliminated.
3. 4th and 7th grade Rev/Edit Interim Assessment:

4th Grade Testing Dates: February 3 - 21
7th Grade Testing Dates: February 10 - March 6
TEA has communicated that due to the ELA TEKS revision, they will not create an Interim Assessment for Rev/Editing. The Assessment Dept. will purchase the STAAR 2018 released assessment, deliver the assessment, and answers will be scanned into AWARE.
4. 3rd Grade Reading Interim Assessment:
Has testing window changed? YES
New Testing Dates: Feb. 24 - March 27
TEA will close on Interim Assessments on March 31, so we had to change the end date of the Interim Assessment for 3rd grade reading.
