Dear Bear Families,

Please see the important information below regarding STAAR and Summer School.

1. Accessing STAAR Scores

Families will be able to access detailed information about their child’s areas of strength, as well as any gaps in learning, by reviewing STAAR, STAAR EOC, and TELPAS results.  Parents can access assessment results through the state’s Family Portal by logging into MyKatyCloud and selecting Home Access Center (HAC).   

Please refer to the Department of Research, Assessment, and Accountability website for the Directions for Automatic Access to State Testing Results Using MyKatyCloud document in English or Spanish. 

Test results will be available in the Family Portal by the end of day listed in the chart. 

2. Summer School - 8th Grade Only

If your child does not pass their 8th Grade Reading or Math STAAR test, they will be invited to the Katy ISD Accelerated Learning Summer School. Be on the lookout for the registration email, which will be sent out by Powerschool on June 4th.  You may need to check your SPAM or junk folder for the invitation. 

3.  Summer School - Credit Recovery

If your child fails two or more core courses, they will be required to attend summer school for credit recovery.  This is separate from the Accelerated Learning summer school. If your child qualifies for credit recovery summer school, you will receive an email from the district by Tuesday, May 27th.

If you have any questions about STAAR scores, please contact our Campus Testing Coordinator, Paula Kingsley at PaulaDkingsley@katyisd.org.  If you have questions about credit recovery, please contact your child's counselor.

WHAT: Our math camp is for students who have completed 7th KAP math or successfully passed the CBE for 8th grade math. This camp will review prerequisite skills from 8th grade math that will help students transition more easily into the first six weeks of HS Algebra 1.

WHEN: Wednesday July 23rd and Thursday July 24th

TIMES: You will pick only one – AM (9:00 – 12:00) OR PM (1:00 – 4:00) on each day

WHO: Only BDJH students who are enrolled to take Algebra 1 for HS credit in the Fall of 2025.

COST: $25 total for the two-day sessions (total of 6 hours).

WHEN TO REGISTER: You can register your child using the following link: https://forms.gle/g9cpCnRytnRnmPGF6 This link will take you to a Google form to be filled out with your child’s information. A Pay-n-Go link will be at the end of this form which will allow you to pay for the camp session you have chosen. Once you have completed both the Google registration form and camp payment, you will be officially registered. We will accept registration applications all throughout the summer based on availability.

NOTE: There will be a total of 4 Algebra sessions available with a capped size of 26 students per session. We will make every effort to place your child in the camp time requested (ie: AM vs PM). The Google form registration is time-stamped, so the earlier you register, the more likely you are to get your preferred time slot for your child.

FAQ: How do I know if a spot in the Algebra math camp has been reserved for my child?

ANSWER: Once you have completed the Google form registration and have paid the math camp fee through Pay-n-Go, you will get two email confirmations. One will be from Pay-n-go stating that your fee has been paid, and the second email will immediately generate from the Google form stating that you have successfully submitted your child’s information. If you get both of those emails, then your child will have reserved a spot in our math camp.

I will update the Google form periodically during the summer to post notifications of any closed sessions once they are full. An email with your child’s time and teacher assignment will be sent approximately 2 weeks before the start of math camp.
