📚 Texas Families: STAAR Results Are Being Released

If your child took the STAAR test this school year, results are now becoming available through the Texas Education Agency.

High school End-of-Course exam results were released June 10, and results for students in grades 3-8 are scheduled to be released June 16.

Parents can access their child's scores by visiting:

🌐 texasassessment.gov

To log in, you'll need your child's unique access code, which can typically be found on the first page of their report card. If you can't locate it, your child's school can help provide it.

STAAR results are reported using four performance levels:

📊 Did Not Meet Grade Level

📊 Approaches Grade Level

📊 Meets Grade Level

📊 Masters Grade Level

Students who score at the "Approaches" level or higher are considered to have passed the assessment, while "Meets" and "Masters" indicate stronger levels of proficiency.

The state also announced that the current STAAR system will eventually be replaced. Beginning with the 2027-28 school year, students will take shorter assessments throughout the year rather than one major test at the end of the year. The new assessment system will be called the Student Success Tool.

Whether you love standardized testing or wish the system looked different, these scores provide one snapshot of student progress and can help families better understand where additional support or growth opportunities may be needed.

🏫 Humble ISD Trustees Appoint New Board President

Humble ISD trustees have selected Position 7 Trustee Michael Grabowski to serve as the district's new Board President.

Grabowski takes over the role following the completion of Position 6 Trustee Marques Holmes' one-year term as board president.

After his appointment during the June 9 board meeting, Grabowski thanked fellow trustees for their confidence and expressed his commitment to serving the district.

Holmes, who served as board president over the past year, praised Grabowski's dedication, particularly when it comes to student safety and security, and said he believes the district is in good hands moving forward.

The board also approved a change to the timing of future board meetings.

Beginning with upcoming meetings, regularly scheduled board meetings will now begin with closed session at 5:00 PM, followed by open session at 6:00 PM. District leaders said the change will better align regular meetings with the schedule already used for special board meetings.

School board decisions impact everything from district policy and budgeting to campus operations and long-term planning, making these meetings an important opportunity for community members to stay informed and engaged.
