RE: Planning and Preparation Time _______________________________________________________________________

There continues to be feedback from the Board of Trustees to Dr. Morrison that a few principals are asking teachers to participate in activities or meetings during their planning and preparation time. Per Dr. Morrison, there should not be any violations or exceptions to Texas Education Code (TEC) 21.404 and GISD Board Policy DL (Legal).

TEC Section 21.404 states:

Each classroom teacher is to have at least 450 minutes within each two-week period for instructional preparation including parent-teacher conferences, evaluating students’ work, and planning. A planning and preparation period may be not be less than 45 minutes within the instructional day. During that time, a teacher may not be required to participate in any other activity.

GISD Board Policy DL (Legal) represents TEC Section 21.404 and states:

Planning and preparation time must occur during the time that students are receiving instruction at the school where the teacher is located. CanutilloEducators Ass’n v. Canutillo Indep. Sch. Dist. Tex. Comm’r of Educ. Decision No. 042-R10-203 (April 30, 2010)

If you have any questions in regards to planning and preparation time, please contact me for clarification.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Teacher Planning Periods

Texas Education Code section 21.404 guarantees each classroom teacher a planning period. Specifically, each classroom teacher is entitled to at least 450 minutes within each two-week period for instructional preparation including parent-teacher conferences, evaluating students' work, and planning. A planning period may not be less than 45 minutes within the instructional day. During a planning period, a classroom teacher may not be required to participate in any other activity.'

Q: Which employees are entitled to planning periods?

A: The statute provides that classroom teachers are entitled to planning periods. A classroom teacher is an educator who: 2

• Is employed by a school district, and;

• Teaches in an academic instructional setting or a career and technology instructional setting, not less than an average of four hours each day

Teacher aides and full-time administrators are not classroom teachers.

There are two components to this definition. First, the employee must be a certified educator engaged in teaching duties. Therefore, an employee who is not a certified teacher is not entitled to a planning period. 3 Second, the employee must teach full-time. Thus, a teacher who teaches fewer than four hours per day, on average, is not entitled to a planning period.

Q: What is the required length of a planning period?

A. A single planning period must be at least 45 minutes long. 4 Thus, for example, a 45 minute planning period cannot be divided into one period of 15 minutes and one period of 30 minutes.'

Tex. Educ. Code § 21.404. 2

Tex. Educ. Code § 5.001(2). 3

See Fenter v. Quinlan lndep. Sch. Dist., Texas Comm'r of Educ. Decision No. 021-R10-1001(2002) (holding librarian was not a "classroom teacher" as that term is used in Section 21.404.)

Total planning time must be at least 450 minutes in each two-week period. 6 The 450-minute provision allows districts that use block scheduling to have longer periods on fewer days.' For example, a teacher could have five 90-minute conference periods within a two-week period, rather than a 45-minute conference period each day. 8

Q: What does "instructional day" mean?

A. A teacher's planning period must be within the instructional day: the time when students are receiving instruction at the school where the teacher is located. 9 Thus, a district violated Section 21.404 when teacher planning periods were scheduled after classes ended for the day.' °

The commissioner of education has applied this definition to an itinerant teacher—a teacher who moves from one campus to another. The teacher began her workday at one high school and finished her workday at another. The district gave the teacher a planning period at the end of her workday. This time was within the instructional day of the campus on which she began her work day, but after the end of classes on the campus at which she ended her workday. The commissioner held that the district violated Section 21.404 because no students were receiving instruction at the campus at which the teacher was located during her planning period."

Q: Can the district require a teacher to attend meetings during planning periods?

A: Not without the teacher's agreement. The statute provides that planning periods are for instructional preparation, including parent-teacher conferences. Accordingly, a district cannot

require teachers to participate in faculty meetings during planning periods, even if the purpose of the meetings is to discuss group planning: "The statute clearly relieves the teacher of any duty during this period of time and prohibits the district and its administration from requiring the teacher to engage in any other activity the administration determines to be useful and important." 12 Similarly, a district violated the predecessor to Section 21.404 when it required teachers to attend in-service faculty meetings during planning and preparation time, even though the meetings involved parent/teacher conferencing techniques, planning and preparation, and other areas: 13

The school district argues that the purpose of the in-services was to train the teachers, to assist

them in making the best use of the time allotted to them for parent-teacher conferences and planning and preparation in their various fields of discipline. There is, however, a difference

between being allowed time to actually conference with parents and being required to attend a meeting to learn how to conference with parents; there is a difference between actually

planning and preparing for future class periods and attending training concerning how to plan

and prepare; and there is a difference between grading students' work and attending an in-service concerning parent-teacher conferences and planning and preparation.

In another decision, the commissioner concluded that a principal violated the statute when she

directed a teacher to meet with her during the teacher's planning period.' 4

Q: Can a teacher voluntarily relinquish his or her planning period?

A: It depends on whether the teacher will be performing teaching or non-teaching duties during the

planning period.

Non-teaching activities: The commissioner has held that a teacher may voluntarily give up a planning

period for non-teaching activities, such as staff development training, as long as attendance at the

activity is not mandatory. 15 Similarly, a district may ask a teacher to attend an ARD meeting during her

planning time, although this should be a rare occurrence to protect the teacher's planning and

preparation time. TASB Legal Services advises districts to document a teacher's voluntary decision to

use planning time for district-related functions.

Teaching activities: Conversely, the commissioner has held that Section 21.404 prohibits a district

from assigning teaching duties during a teacher's planning period, even if the teacher agrees to the

duties. 16 The commissioner reasoned that a district cannot contract for teaching duties in exchange

for monetary compensation outside of a Chapter 21 contract.

Surplus planning time: An exception to the above rule regarding teaching activities applies where a

district provides more than the statutorily required time for planning periods. For example, some

districts provide 600, 750, or 900 minutes of planning time in each two-week period. The

commissioner has held that Section 21.404 would not be violated if a teacher gave up surplus

planning time to teach a class.''

Q: Are there any activities a teacher cannot engage in during a planning period?

A: A teacher must use his or her planning period for instructional preparation, including parent-teacher

conferences, evaluating students' work, and planning. 19 A planning period should not be used for

personal pursuits. As one teacher association stated: "[A] planning and prep period is duty time,

not a free time when employees could leave campus or engage in non-school related activities." 2°

formal and specific. To be formal, the notice must be in writing from a person in a position of authority. To be

specific, the notice must convey how much of a reduction of salary is possible. The question to be answered is

whether the employees actually knew or reasonably could have known, before the penalty-free resignation

date, the amount their salaries could be reduced. Brajenovich v. Alief Indep. Sch. Dist., Tex. Comm'r of Educ.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: Principals Administrators FROM: Mark A. Booker, Director of Purchasing RE: Procurement Card Compliance _______________________________________________________________________ Effective September 1, 2015, all potential procurement card violation notices shall be forwarded to the Deputy Superintendent of Business for investigation. If sufficient evidence suggest a violation has occurred, the immediate supervisor of the cardholder will be notified. Upon determination that an offense has indeed taken place, a strike is issued and the immediate supervisor is notified. If the supervisor was involved by failing to properly reconcile the P-Card transaction, a strike will also be issued to the administrator. The only change from previous years is the deputy superintendent of business will perform the investigation and issue strikes. There are two areas that appear to be problematic when making and approving purchases-split purchases and using an unapproved supplier without purchasing approval.

Split purchases are purchases to a single vendor that would normally be made with one transaction but have been split to avoid the single transaction limit, which is $500 for most cards. Split purchases are easily prevented by using a purchase order (PO) for purchases that have the potential to exceed $500. If the vendor does not accept a purchase order, request a profile change to accommodate the purchase amount. When reviewing receipts, check the date and time for transactions to the same supplier. Merchandise can be returned to the supplier if a split purchase has been identified before the goods are used or the service provided.

Purchases to unapproved suppliers must have purchasing approval prior to the purchase. The approval is normally provided with an email from a buyer in the purchasing department. Purchases to unapproved suppliers for travel expenses, offsite dining, offsite instructional programs, memberships, registrations and purchases made with fund 865 or 876 do not require prior approval.

The Director of Purchasing is available to provide onsite staff development for cardholders and administrators if needed. Contact Diane Fields at 972.487.3086 or [email protected] to schedule an onsite meeting with your school or department.

Back to School with Green and Healthy Products Maintaining a healthy learning environment is an important part of making sure that every child can learn. But all too often, conventional products-from computers to paints to cleaning supplies-expose school occupants to toxic chemicals that can pollute the indoor air. Children and staff who can't concentrate or miss school or are uncomfortable in class will not succeed this year. Fortunately, reducing toxic chemicals in products will reduce air pollutants inside schools and thus will benefit all occupants. There are a few ways to help the school use a wide range of greener products.

Select nontoxic (low emission) school supplies, such as nontoxic markers and pens, and notebooks and binders made without PVC plastics.

Select EPEAT-rated electronics to minimize toxic chemicals, reduce the disposal costs of outdated electronics, and save on energy. (EPEAT is a certification system for greener electronics).

Do not send cleaning or disinfecting products from home to school to use in classrooms.

Ask your local school if it is using money-saving, third-party certified green cleaning products (reliable certifiers are Green Seal (US) and UL-E (EcoLogo). If the school is already using green products, those can be diluted with plain water for wiping up sticky spills in classrooms.

Ask the school if it plans to do any interior painting in the coming year, and if so, ask it to buy low-emission, third-party certified interior wall or ceiling paints. These will help reduce indoor air pollutants.

To find resources and tip sheets to help get started on reducing chemical hazards inside schools, go to http://healthyschools.org/coalitionactionkit.html and http://www.cleaningforhealthyschools.org/.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: All Principals FROM: Maggie Willis, Director of Health Services RE: Guidelines for Health and Safety Assessment _______________________________________________________________________ Principals, Attached are the guidelines for the Health and Safety Assessment (formerly Impairment Assessment), as well as the document the RN will complete. Please read the guidelines carefully. These assessments have always been done only for the health and safety of the student. The assessment has never been a pass/fail by the school nurse. The nurse has never stated a diagnosis. The nurse will only report objective findings from his/her assessment. Based on the findings, the nurse may call 911, have the parent pick up the child to be taken to the doctor, or sent back to the administrator requesting the assessment. Also note, the assessment may only be requested by a school administrator, not a staff member. Finally, the nurses have been advised to request the presence of an administrator or SRO officer during the assessment. This is to prevent any false allegations against the nurse performing the assessment. Privacy must also be provided in order to protect the student’s confidential health issues. Please give me a call (972-487-3268) if you have any questions. Thank you.

GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Health Services

Guidelines for Health and Safety Assessment Philosophy

There are many factors that can precipitate a student to exhibit a change in normal health processes:

emotional, physical, and/or mental. In an effort to provide a safe and effective school environment for all students and staff, it sometimes becomes necessary to remove a student from the classroom and to make an objective assessment of that student. It is in the student’s and District’s best interest that the assessment and documentation be consistent and non-judgmental. The Garland ISD Health and Safety Assessment provides a mechanism for both. The data from the assessment will aid the school RN, campus administrators, and parents in determining:

1. Is an intervention necessary? 2. The nature of the help needed.

The assessment may be valuable as an initial statement along with other input to determine student needs. It is not intended as the definitive diagnosis of a student problem.

Procedure

The request for a student to have a Health and Safety Assessment must come from a campus administrator.

The student must be searched by a campus administrator or SRO officer before the assessment. No back pack, jackets, etc will be allowed in the assessment area.

The location of the assessment is mutually agreed upon by the school nurse and campus administrator. It is imperative that the location maintain privacy for the student.

If the student is uncooperative, verbally abusive, or aggressive, a campus administrator or SRO officer must remain with the student during the assessment. If the student is cooperative, the school nurse will make a decision if it is necessary to have a campus administrator or SRO present during the assessment.

From the time of the referral, the student should be approached with a perspective of concerned caring, not subjective judgment. Explain to the student that he/she has exhibited a behavior or made statements that resulted in the referral for assessment. Explain that the purpose of the assessment is to gather information to help decide the best intervention.

Unless there is an obvious change in the student’s physical or mental status, the student should not be subjected to multiple assessments.

The Health and Safety Assessment report is confidential and the results may be shared only with those school personnel directly involved with the referral, assessment, and disposition of the student, and that student’s legal guardians.

Documentation should be objective and accurately reflect student responses. Specific abnormal findings are noted. The assessment tool does not have a pass or fail nursing diagnosis.

Documentation is recorded in the student’s electronic clinic record. A copy of the electronic clinic record may be given to the appropriate school personnel as defined above or to the student’s legal guardian, if requested.

Unless there is a medical reason for the school nurse to continue observation and assessment of the student in the clinic, the student is returned to the campus administrator for monitoring. This ensures the student’s right to confidentiality.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: All Campus Administrators FROM: Dr. Butch Sloan, Chief Instructional Technology Administrator RE: Documentation of Extended Day Classes in Skyward _______________________________________________________________________

In order for the Transportation staff to route eligible students participating in Extended Day classes before school, after school, or on Saturdays, all campuses are being asked to create special classes in Skyward. The two pages attached to this memo were distributed to campus secretaries attending the Business Office budget trainings on August 13 and 14, 2015.

Note that many of the guidelines regarding the timelines and costs associated with bus transportation for Extended Day have not changed, but the method for identifying the students has changed significantly as we move from MAPPER to Skyward.

Campuses interested in requesting bus transportation for Extended Day classes will need to identify an appropriate staff person to receive training on creating Extended Day classes and enrolling students in these Extended Day classes in Skyward. Secondary campuses would want to identify a counselor for this role. Elementary campuses would want to identify the campus Data Clerk or the Assistant Principal for this role. Skyward users already familiar with the scheduling process in Skyward will quickly pick up this new structure for these Extended Day classes, but training classes for Extended Day will be scheduled as needed throughout the school year. Campus staff members needing that training are asked to contact [email protected] to schedule a training session.

Note that a campus must have the Extended Day class created and students enrolled at least 10 school days prior to the date of the first Extended Day class. The first date that campuses can request Extended Day buses is Monday, September 28, 2015.

Action Required

32 WAIP 8-28-15

Transportation for Extended Day and Saturday Classes

1. GISD bus transportation for extended day and Saturday classes will not be available until Monday, September

28, 2015. Please call the Transportation office at 972‐494‐8530 (option 2) to advise the route supervisor of your

plans for extended day or Saturday classes.

2. Most extended day drivers cannot arrive at your campus prior to 5:00 pm due to their regular routes.

3. There should be no extended day classes scheduled on Fridays or on early release days.

4. Extended day class transportation cost for 5:00 pm dismissal is $60.00 per bus and $90.00 per bus for a 6:00 pm

dismissal. Saturday class transportation cost is $40.00 per hour with a 5 hour minimum.

5. If you need to cancel extended day or Saturday classes, please notify the Transportation office prior to 3:00 pm

of the extended day class (or Friday before a Saturday class) or the campus will be billed for a cancellation fee.

6. Students participating in extended day or Saturday classes will need to be enrolled in special classes in Skyward

at least ten (10) school days prior to the start date of these classes in order that the Transportation staff can

determine each student’s eligibility for bus transportation and recruit drivers for the routes. Once the students

are routed, you will be able to print a list of students by bus number.

7. To enroll students in an extended day class, the first step will be to identify the specific course key starting with

the letter X for the class based on the following chart:

8. In addition to the six‐character course key, staff at each campus can assign a 3‐character “Section Code” for each

extended day or Saturday class. This 3‐character section code can be any combination of letters and numbers,

and can, therefore, be used to identify the purpose of the class. Training and documentation will be made

available to campuses to support the creation of these classes in Skyward.

9. Please feel free to call the Transportation Department at 972‐494‐8530 (option 2) or the Technology

Department (Student Information Systems) at 972‐494‐8531, if you have any questions. 33 WAIP 8-28-15

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: All Campus Administrators FROM: Dr. Butch Sloan, Chief Instructional Technology Administrator RE: Skyward Distribution and Grade Reporting Deadlines for 15-16 _______________________________________________________________________

1. Every Skyward user has a home page displayed when the user logs in for the first time each day (or clicks on the Home button). A new “widget” called District News is now set to display by default for all staff, whether logging in to Student Management as an admin user…

or to Educator Access Plus as a classroom teacher.

Information

35 WAIP 8-28-15

2. The postings under the District News widget will display the teacher gradebook

deadlines for Progress Notices and Report Cards for the current grading cycle. 3. The postings under the District News widget will be updated for each grading cycle

as we move through the school year. 4. The hyperlink titled “Distribution/Posting Dates for Skyward Family Access” will

open a new browser window to display the page on the district’s public website containing the dates when Progress Notices and Report Cards will be distributed to students (or mailed for secondary students at the end of cycles 1 and 6). Note that these dates also represent the dates when the Progress Notices and Report Cards will be posted online in the students’ Portfolios so that students and parent/guardians can access them online through Skyward Family Access.

5. If events (bad weather closures, etc.) warrant any changes in these deadlines as we move through the school year, the online postings will be modified to display the updated information.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: All Principals and GISD Departments FROM: Department of Student Services and School Choice RE: GISD Non-Residential Employees Please advise all full-time employees, if they currently live outside the district and have a child/children who attend a G.I.S.D. school, they are required to complete and submit the “Interdistrict Non-Residential Employee Transfer” form to the Department of Student Services and School Choice, if they have not already done so. Should an employee move throughout the school year or has already moved (ex: over the summer) to a residence outside of the district and would like their child/children to remain in G.I.S.D., the form must be completed accordingly. This will not alter where their child/children currently attend school, but such information must be documented as required by TEA. Again, employees that already have the paperwork filed with the district do not need to re-submit. This only applies to employees who have not filed the necessary interdistrict transfer form. The “Interdistrict Non-Residential Employee Transfer” form can be accessed through the intranet at http://home.garlandisd.net/SP1016-fillable_english.pdf. For additional questions or concerns, please contact the Department of Student Services and School Choice at 972-494-8255.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: Administrators, Clerks FROM: Student Services: Attendance RE: Attendance Awareness Month _______________________________________________________________________ Attendance Awareness Month begins on September 1, 2015. We are using this occasion to collect the required attendance agreements referred to in the Texas Education Code. Please help us disseminate the information to our students and parents. Attendance Agreement Campuses will receive copies of the Attendance Agreement for every student on or before Monday August 31, 2015 from the Print Shop. The agreements are to be sent home with students September 1, returned to and housed in a central location on the campus. A Skylert message will be sent to parents concerning the need to read, sign, and return agreements to the campus with their student. Education Code 25.095 requires notice be sent to parents at the beginning of the school year concerning attendance expectations and the possibility of prosecution and referral to truancy court. Attendance Posters As a part of Attendance Awareness Month we are asking campuses to publically exhibit posters about Attendance Expectations and Benefits. The posters will be sent to campuses. House Bill 2398 requires that school districts adopt truancy prevention measures. Public posted expectations and norms are considered a prevention measure. www.attendanceworks.org has supplemental ideas and supports for truancy prevention.

Garland Independent School District DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: Principals, Assistant Principals, Area Directors FROM: Jasmine Preston, Coordinator of Web Services RE: CoolClix 2015-16 _______________________________________________________________________ Campus website CoolClix challenges are underway. We will announce the first winners of the year at the September 10 Team GISD meeting. We will begin reviewing the sites on Thursday, September 3. The August/September CoolClix Challenge topic is Attendance Matters. For this challenge we want to see that all the traditional back to school information is updated on your site so that parents and kids can start off on the right foot. It’s also Attendance Awareness Month so we want parents to know the benefits of regular attendance. We want students to feel welcomed and encouraged to attend. Before a site can earn recognition for their creative efforts on the challenge topic, it must meet our standards for content and formatting. Out-of-date or inaccurate content and non-standard use of headings, links and related formatting are just a few of the ways a site could get knocked out of the running. If your site makes it past the first cut, then it’s just a matter of who we believe has the most creative responses to the challenge. Participation in at least one of the monthly challenges is encouraged but not required. See the attached list of challenge topics for the year to see which themes fit best with your campus goals. Winning webmasters and their principals will be recognized at our annual CoolClix Luncheon in May. Please be sure to encourage all of your staff to assist webmasters in the challenges by providing information, ideas, photos, etc. Showcasing the success of your students and staff takes teamwork and the “coolest” sites reflect that. Thanks for all you do to support the campus websites and your webmasters.

Attendance Matters: Important to think of this two ways. 1st – Taking care of matters related to attending school. This

means updating all of the traditional back to school information. What do parents and students need to know so the

kids start off on the right foot? 2nd – Attending school is important. We want students to feel welcomed and encouraged

to attend. We want parents to know the benefits of regular attendance. September is Attendance Awareness Month.

Volunteer Insider: While related content is good throughout the site, the main focus will be on your Volunteer page.

Help potential volunteers be “in the know” about how they can contribute to your school. Specific needs and contact

information along with creative ways to recognize and encourage volunteers are all important items to include.

Parents Corner: While related content is good throughout the site, the main focus will be on your Parents page.

Recognize and encourage parental involvement. Highlight Skyward’s Family Access. Provide resources and information

to keep your parents connected and more able to support their student’s success.

Wrap it up, make it pretty: We won’t be looking for any specific content but instead want to see your sites cleaned up

and ready for the new semester. Formatting issues should be resolved by this point. Holiday content is fine but evidence

of preparing for the new year/semester should be present.

Showcase your school: Looking for creative storytelling about what makes your school special. Feature stories, images,

videos, etc. can all be used to highlight your school’s personality and programs in time for Choice of School.

Academic report: While related content is good throughout the site, the main focus will be on your Academics page.

Highlight engaging classroom lessons, quality teaching, instructional resources. STEM, reading – any subject area works.

Spotlight on the arts: While related content is good throughout the site, the main focus will be on your Arts page.

Showcase your fine arts programs. Share feature stories of students and their creative activities.

Best sites of the year: Current state of site is combined with performance on challenges throughout the year.

To make the first cut or “short list” each month, your site must not contain any formatting errors, out-of-date or

missing content. Missing permission documentation or other issues can also “disqualify” you.

Each month, sites on the “short list” will be revisited to find those that stand out from the crowd.

“Short-list”, honorable mentions, and winners for each month earn points that are used in determining Best

Sites of the Year.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: Principals & Campus Testing Coordinators FROM: Courtney Clearfield District Testing Coordinator Research, Assessment & Accountability RE: Implementation of New Student Assessment Contracts _______________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this WAIP is to provide information about the implementation of the student assessment contracts. AWARD OF 2015–2019 STUDENT ASSESSMENT CONTRACTS

On May 18, 2015, the Texas Education Agency announced its intent to award the various components of the 2015–2019 contract for student assessment services to two separate contractors. Educational Testing Service (ETS) was awarded the Program Integration and State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) components of the contract. The Program Integration component includes coordinating all activities associated with the student assessment program. The STAAR component incorporates all testing activities related to the general STAAR grades 3–8 and end-of-course (EOC) assessments as well as STAAR Spanish, STAAR L, and STAAR A assessments. Pearson was awarded the STAAR Alternate 2, Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS), and Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) components of the contract. As a result of the awards, beginning in the 2015–2016 school year, there will be some changes to the processes associated with the student assessment program as the contractors launch/update their test management and online testing platforms to meet the overall needs of the program.

Information

55 WAIP 8-28-15

TEST MANAGEMENT PLATFORMS

The current test management system, the Texas Assessment Management System (TAMS), delivered via PearsonAccess, will remain operational for the STAAR program, as outlined below. Campuses can use TAMS during this time to complete the following activities.

View and retrieve 2015 STAAR grades 3–8 reports and data files with mathematics scale

scores and performance standards applied: Date posted through September 25th.

Look up student scores through TAMS or the Student/Parent Portal: Now through

September 18th.

Retrieve any previous STAAR grades 3–8 and EOC reports and data files: Now through

September 18th.

From September 19th–27th, STAAR grades 3–8 and EOC data will be transferred from Pearson to ETS. During this period of time, districts should not make changes/corrections to student information and test-administration information, and STAAR grades 3–8 and EOC reports and data files will be unavailable. The current version of TAMS will still be available for all test-administration activities related to STAAR Alternate 2, TELPAS, and TAKS through mid-October. Beginning on September 28th, ETS’s test management platform, the Test Operation Management System (TOMS), will be available for all STAAR grades 3–8 and EOC testing activities. On October 12, 2015, Pearson’s updated test management platform, PearsonAccess Next, will be launched for all STAAR Alternate 2, TELPAS, and TAKS activities (with the exception of the October TAKS exit level test administration). Once the new test management platforms have been launched, they will be accessible at http://www.texasassessment.com. This internet address will also contain links to the current version of TAMS (for TAKS through January 2016), the Texas Data Portals, and the new TELPAS Teacher Training System when these new systems become available.

OCTOBER 2015 TAKS EXIT LEVEL TEST ADMINISTRATION

All activities related to the October 2015 TAKS exit level test administration will remain unchanged from previous TAKS test administrations and will be managed through the current version of TAMS.

DECEMBER 2015 STAAR EOC TEST ADMINISTRATION

The December 2015 STAAR EOC assessments will be administered in paper format only. Therefore, there will be no registration for online testing for this administration. Beginning in spring 2016, all EOC administrations will be offered both online and on paper. Participation collections for the December 2015 administration will be managed in the current version of TAMS and will begin on August 19th and end on September 4th. This participation collection will differ from previous submissions in that districts will be asked to update counts for STAAR L and STAAR A for delivery in paper format only. Pearson will provide ETS with a file of STAAR EOC non-masters so that the file can be loaded onto ETS’s test management platform. These non-masters are STAAR, STAAR L, and STAAR A students for whom a document was submitted in spring or summer 2015 and who did not pass one or more of the EOC assessments. Beginning September 28th, districts will be able to add students or update information for non-master students through ETS's test management platform. A supplement to the 2015 District and Campus Coordinator Manual will be available online by November 15, 2015, and will outline new processes and procedures for the paper-only administration of the December 2015 STAAR EOC assessments.

MATERIALS, TRAININGS, AND COMMUNICATIONS

Online training materials and modules will be available for the new test management platforms beginning September 28th. These materials and modules will be accessible at http://www.texasassessment.com.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: Principals & Campus Testing Coordinators FROM: Courtney Clearfield District Testing Coordinator Research, Assessment & Accountability RE: Out of School Testing Location beginning December 2015 _______________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this WAIP is to provide information about the testing location for students that have completed their high school course credits but still have not been successful on one or more STAAR EOCs. These students are considered Out of School testers. For the past few years, Memorial Pathway Academy has been the campus all of our Out of School (OOS) testers attend to take the Exit Level TAKS retest. Due to some significant program changes at MPA and an increased number of OOS testers now that STAAR EOC will also have OOS participants, it has been decided to transition back to rotating the OOS campus every two years. Sachse High School will be the OOS campus beginning in December 2015 and will host all TAKS and STAAR EOC out of school testing opportunities through July 2017. More information will be provided to CTCs and Counselors prior to each testing opportunity.

DATE: August 28, 2015 TO: Principals & Campus Testing Coordinators FROM: Courtney Clearfield District Testing Coordinator Research, Assessment & Accountability RE: Spring 2016 English III & Algebra II STAAR EOCs _______________________________________________________________________ In Spring 2016, TEA will make available an optional Algebra II STAAR EOC and an optional English III STAAR EOC. Per TEA, these tests are to be given to all students that are enrolled in and will be completing the course or no students at all. The state does not give the option of giving this tests to a selection of students. This memo is to notify you that Garland ISD will NOT be administering the optional Algebra II and English III STAAR EOCs to any of our students in the Spring of 2016.

The Curriculum and Instruction Department has organized a Code.org training session for all interested teachers and librarians. Please share the attached fliers with your teachers, and encourage them to register for Saturday, September 19, at 9:00 a.m. at Sachse High School. To register, please go to the following link: http://sched.co/46oF. All participants will receive free swag bags, coding classroom curriculum, supplies to begin coding in their classrooms, and certificates at the end of the day. Breakfast and afternoon snacks will be provided. One of our goals this school year is to engage all GISD campuses in the global Hour of Code (https://hourofcode.com/us) event during the week of December 7th. Coding has become an essential skill for students. By integrating coding in the classroom, teachers help future leaders become creators, not simply consumers, of digital technology. In some countries, coding is a daily subject taught like math, reading or science. Coding, in its basic definition, is telling a computer what to do by giving it step-by-step commands for the computer to follow. Coding can help students pursue interests in greater career options and job security for the future. With code, students have the opportunity to design apps, buildings, fashion, programs, and find solutions to world problems. Please share the training information with your staff, and mark your calendars for the week of December 7th Hour of Code.

TO: Elementary Principals

FROM: Dr. Rhonda Davis, Director of Special Programs

RE: Grading and Grouping / First Grade Spelling clarification _______________________________________________________________________

The edits and updates to the Elementary Grading and Grouping manual this year included placing Grade One into the same category as Grades Two – Five for the purpose of

D. GENERAL GRADING GUIDELINES 3. GRADES ONE-FIVE (p. 6)

However, spelling grades are not given for Grade One students during the first semester. This fact was omitted in this year’s guidelines.

The question has arisen, what will happen (in Skyward) to a student’s grade if no grades are given for spelling during the first semester? Dr. Sloan has provided the following answer, “If the teachers do not enter spelling grades for semester 1, the gradebook would spread the 15% weight over the other 3 categories composition (53%), grammar (41%), and handwriting (6%).”

Please ensure that your first grade teachers understand this information. The online Grading and Grouping document will be updated to reflect this information.

RE: Renaissance Learning Purchases for 2015-16-UPDATED/REVISED _______________________________________________________________________

If your campus is interested in purchasing Renaissance Learning Accelerated Reader (AR), STAR Reading and/or STAR Reading Spanish products for the 2015-16 school year, please note that the Curriculum and Instruction department helps facilitate this process in order to receive a reduced rate. To gather information about how many licenses your campus needs, we have created a survey for principals to complete at Renaissance Learning Purchasing Survey for you convenience. Please complete the survey by August 31st.

To give you an idea of cost, updated pricing is included below:

AR Enterprise Annual License per Student-$5.85

STAR Reading Service License per Student-$2.40

STAR Reading Enterprise per student (online dashboards and reports) -$3.80

STAR Reading Spanish Annual License per Student-$5.30

All product hosting fee – (1 fee per campus covers all products for 1 year) - $599**This was previously listed erroneously as Spanish only. The abovehosting fee is for all products.

We will get discounted pricing on some products depending on the volume once we submit our numbers. Additionally, if your campus has not purchased one or more of these products in the last 12 months, a $299 product reactivation fee is also included. If your campus has not purchased the product before at all, a $1599 (please note-this is an updated price from previous memo) one-time set up fee must be included, for each product. This includes the addition of STAAR Reading Spanish. It is considered a “new” product even if the campus already has STAAR Reading Service or Enterprise.

Once we have the number you wish to order and a quote from the company, we will provide you with invoice information. Each campus will then go into the Oracle Main Store to purchase. We will provide you with detailed instructions at that time so you can make your purchase.
