To ensure equity for all students, Katy ISD will administer the 2021 state assessments to all students, including KVA students, at their home campus. All testing students should arrive at their campus by the start of the school day. Parents will receive more information from students’ campuses regarding details for participating in STAAR assessments this spring. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><u>To limit testing disruptions and to ensure safety measures are in place, certain grade levels of non-testing students will remain at home and engage in Intermittent School to Home instruction on STAAR testing days while other grade levels will continue with the normal school schedule.</u> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">For graduation requirements, students must meet standard on all five EOC subjects - English I, English II, Biology, Algebra I, and U.S. History to be eligible to graduate. Missing a STAAR EOC testing opportunity will potentially impact meeting the graduation testing requirement outlined by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Further, students must attempt to test to be eligible to utilize substitute assessments and/or graduate by Individual Graduation Committee (IGC). </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">Students enrolled in self-contained specialized programs will be permitted to attend class on campus. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><strong><u>KVA Students- STAAR/EOC Testing Information</u></strong> </span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">KVA students may ride district transportation to and from their campus on their scheduled campus STAAR administration day(s).

However, should a parent choose not to send their in-person or virtual student to campus on the day of a scheduled assessment, there are no academic expectations for attending school virtually or academic consequences. Students may return to their in-person or virtual learning the next day following the state assessment. </span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><strong><u>STAAR, EOC Make-Up Date Expectations:</u></strong> <br></span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">Virtual students who elect to not take the state assessment on the make-up date must participate in the virtual learning model or will be marked absent. In-person students present on a make-up assessment day and eligible for the make-up assessment must be provided an opportunity to test. Therefore, parents of in-person students who elect for their child to not take the state assessment on the make-up scheduled date should contact a campus administrator or counselor. In-person students should follow their regular instructional day schedule if confirmed they will not be taking the state assessment on the scheduled date. </span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">If you have questions regarding STAAR administration, please contact your child’s campus administrator or counselor. <a href="/Documents/Testing%20Schedule.pdf">Click here to view the below assessment schedules for important dates.</a> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/pt05-1/images/tinymce/72de71081aad3c4cfb0e16927752223e/elementary_testing.jpg" alt="Elementary Testing" style="width:600px;height:425px;" /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/pt05-1/images/tinymce/618fc84ffcb08cfea88b6cf0aa8d33b9/JH_testing.jpg" alt="Junior High testing" style="width:600px;height:287px;" /></span> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/pt05-1/images/tinymce/2eecda1d1c8eefcf4e908146a404a91d/HS_testing.jpg" alt="High School Testing" style="width:600px;height:324px;" /></span> </p><p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><strong>District Student Transfer Application Closes May 31, 2021</strong> <br></span><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">The District Student Transfer application period for the 2021-2022 school year is open and closes on May 31, 2021. </span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">All transfers must be renewed annually.
