Test security measures will be in place on test days to limit student access to cell phones during testing. It is suggested that students leave cell phones at home on the days of testing. If you choose to allow your child to bring a phone, students must submit their cell phones that are turned off to their test administrators on the day of testing. Cell phones will be placed in an individual zip lock bag and returned to each student as soon as all testing has been completed for the day. Also, we will not allow any guests on our campus during the above mentioned testing days. You may also go online at www.tea.state.tx.us Student Assessment Division for additional information.
The teachers are having an extremely difficult time with students not turning in homework assignments. If students do not have their assignment on the due date; those assignments will be accepted the next day for a maximum grade of a 70. After that day, a zero will be recorded in the gradebook and the work will not be accepted. Tutorials are scheduled each day from 7:45-8:00. The intent is not to complete all homework assignments but to get assistance with specific questions. Please refer to our Student Handbook for additional information. Texas Education Agency states in order to be promoted to grade 9, students enrolled in grade 8 must perform satisfactorily on the mathematics and reading sections of the grade 8 TAKS assessment. Grades and consequences have been addressed with our students numerous times. Our goal is for your child to be successful. Each of our staff works to bring this goal to fruition.
All 8th grade students will receive with their report card a copy of their progress in math and reading in accord with the state’s Student Success Initiative. This report provides information about your child’s progress in mathematics and reading as it relates to the state-mandated mathematics and reading curriculum.
