House Bill 4545 Information & What it means for our Students?
Accelerated Instruction requirements are met by delivering supplemental instruction (tutoring) before school, after school, or embedded in the school day.
We have met with all students in grades 9 through 12 who require the accelerated instruction. 10th through 12th grade students will have another STAAR testing opportunity in December. 9th grade students are preparing for April and May STAAR tests.
Students have been provided with options for before school, after school, or during F.I.T lunch tutoring. We've encouraged each student to log at least one hour per week in preparation for the December retest. Students are required to log 30 hours of additional instruction per test.
See the flyer below for Accelerated Instruction Options.

Digital Footprints for Our Students
The campus is working through the latest series of social media challenges and situations.
We continue to discuss with students the impact of social media/technology and the digital resume we are building with each post, comment, video, etc. There are many positive powerful uses for social media and technology to connect people, information, and ideas. We encourage students to focus on the positive impacts they make on the world around them. Please partner with us to encourage this message and monitor your student's use of technology.
Additionally, both students and parents have access to our P3 campus system for reporting concerns anonymously. Our safety motto is "If you see something, say something."; we are here to help.
