If you have any questions, visit the TEA website. If you still have questions, take them to Margo. If Margo does not know the answer, she can contact Debbie Lewis. Debbie will be our district contact with TEA.

Make sure you visit the TEA Accommodation website. Some language has been changed, so please make sure students still qualify for the accommodations you have already put into place.

AYP Update
RRISD is currently at 1.98% in terms of the 2% cap, with 441 testing decisions still to be made. Elementary campuses alone are at 2.2% with 268 decisions still to be made. THIS is the year to push a student to take STAAR instead of STAAR M if you are on the fence between the two tests. Concern: If we continue to go over the 2% cap, STAAR M may no longer be offered http://geographic-cohorts.wikispaces.com/AYP+Decision+as+of+January+19%2C+2012

Level Change ARD's
Students in FAC, ACHIEVE, and other students with significant needs should continue to have level change ARD's. If the receiving middle school does not want to attend an ARD, contact Steven Teter so he can work out any issues and enusre attendance by a representative from the middle school.

STAAR Readiness Tests (district-based)
Only available in math and science Treat them like benchmarks Steven Teter recommends students take this in order for you to have more data to base decisions on If students are exempt from benchmarks, give them the assessment, but do not send it in for scoring, hand score it
