STAAR Test Information
State STAAR assessments continue this month. As a reminder, your student's campus will communicate test dates, location and report times. Students who are remote learners and need transportation to their campus for testing can board the bus at the stop closest to their home in the morning. Those students will be returned following the early release schedule for their campus unless they need extra time to complete testing, in which case they will ride the regular release bus. Students can also be picked up by a parent or guardian. Parents should expect a survey from their campus where they can express a need for their students to ride the bus on specific testing days.
We shared more information about STAAR, TELPAS and end-of-course exams on our website here. You can also view the state assessment calendar on our website here.
Reminder: Returning Student Registration
New student enrollment is now available online for the 2021-22 school year.
To register, the required documents may be uploaded, or families may schedule an enrollment appointment with a registrar for additional assistance with the enrollment process.
If your student is currently enrolled and will be returning to GISD schools next year, please take a few minutes to complete returning student registration in Skyward Family Access so that campuses have accurate information and can communicate with you about the upcoming school year.
Reminder - Deadline Approaching: Dual Language Program Applications for Incoming Kindergarteners
Families interested in applying for our dual language program are encouraged to watch the informational video on the dual language district webpage. The program is offered at Carver, Cooper, Purl, Village and Williams for new kindergarten students. Students zoned to other campuses may still apply to the program. If accepted, your student may be enrolled in a dual language campus that is not their home campus. Applicants are encouraged to apply during the early application window to receive confirmation of program acceptance prior to the fall. The early applicant deadline is May 28.
