Dear parents and families, Your child took the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) earlier this spring, and soon you will receive your child’s results. The state assessment is one of many ways to measure student learning. Teachers will use STAAR results along with other information to support your child’s learning in the new school year. Beginning June 7 for STAAR end-of-course assessments and June 14 for STAAR grades 3–8 assessments, you can access your child’s STAAR results. You will access your child’s results through the Ascender Parent Portal. Your child’s STAAR results will include detailed information for each test question, identifying your child’s strengths and areas where your child may need additional support. For more information about STAAR, visit the Texas Assessment website. To access your child’s test results, follow the steps created for Bowie ISD. https://bit.ly/3XeR3Hf
