District News

Due to the redesign of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), student results will not be available as early as usual. In the meantime, our campus staff will be utilizing current student data to determine any needs around summer support and to plan for academic support in the 2023-2024 school year.

Please see the attached TEA flyers for the release dates of the scores. Please note that STAAR results will be available in Skyward Family Access Parent Portal once released from TEA. Thank you for your patience as we work to get your student's information to you as quickly as we receive it from the state.

Have a safe and happy summer!

Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to recognize school nurses.

National School Nurse Day was established to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting.

School Nurse Day is celebrated on Wednesday, May 10 during National Nurses Week. National Nurses Week is May 6-12 each year. 

 NASN Social Toolkit here.  

Your Texas School Nurses Organization celebrates and acknowledges the accomplishments of School Nurses in Texas, their efforts in meeting the needs of today’s students by improving the delivery of health care in private and public schools, and their vital contributions to our local communities by helping all students remain healthy, ready to learn, in our schools.
