Virtual End of Year Activities
Who knows what the end of the school year will bring. This year, some schools may end up going back to the classroom to finish the school year, and that would be awesome. However, for many, this school year is going to be completed from the safety of our students’ homes.
As teachers, we are great at adapting, re-imagining, and coming up with clever ways to engage students without getting to work with them in our classrooms.

Determination of 2019-20
end-of-year performance levels

The cancellation of STAAR for Spring and Summer 2020 and TEA’s proposal to label all districts and campuses Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster for the 2019-20 school year are decisions that are designed to allow districts and campuses to focus on what matters most right now: the health and safety of students, staff, families and school communities. It is important, however, for districts and campuses to proactively prepare for a strong start to the 2020-21 school year. The following materials outline a suggested activity: having teachers determine the 2019-20 Summative End-of-Year Performance Levels of each student (in at least Reading and Math in K-8)
