What can show that my student is ready to be promoted?
If you missed more than 18 days for the year and did not turn in notes to have the absences EXCUSED, you will be at risk of being retained.
Remember that your Math, English & Reading, Science & History Semester 1 & 2 Scores must be 70% or higher. Passing STAAR could provide opportunity to show mastery and be promoted.
Approaches, Meets & Masters are considered passing scores at the State Standard. Students who also fail to meet Expected Progress are not able to use STAAR as proof of mastery for promotion.
Here are some important reminders:
Shuttles, Unit Parents/Buses & walkers at the Llano Street Driveway/Door!!! This is not for regular parent drop off!
If you come through the correct line (car riders), we will be handing out Hot Cocoa to parents one morning.
don't forget to check your email to register with parent square communication!!!
