Dear Sophomores and Parents,
As part of our commitment to college and career readiness, all sophomores will take the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA). This assessment helps determine if students are prepared for college-level coursework, should they choose to pursue higher education.
The TSIA includes math, reading, and writing sections. You can learn more about the test by watching this informational video.
Testing Schedule:
Last Names A–L: April 28–29
Last Names M–Z: April 30–May 1
Students will take the math portion one day and the reading/writing portions the next.
Testing will begin in the morning in assigned rooms, which will be posted in the halls. Once students finish testing, they will return to their regular classes.
If a student believes they may be exempt based on SAT, ACT, or other criteria, please email me at nwhite@hisd.com.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Here are some resources to help study and prepare.
