STAAR and TELPAS Information!
State testing results for students are available in the Texas Family Portal today. The Texas Family Portal is a secure site to share any state testing results - STAAR, TELPAS, etc. Please check your email inbox for a personalized confidential email providing log-in information for this site. If you have any students in grades 4-12 who completed STAAR testing last year or any student K-12 who completed TELPAS testing (solely for English Language Learners), the results of that testing are available using this log-in information. Please let us know if you have questions or problems logging on.


DISD ALERT!
There is a new app trending, Saturn, which allows students to upload their school info so they can connect with others. IT RAISES CONCERN.
NONE of the data in the app comes from the district, only users uploading their info.
