Ms. Heard Highlights I

Rylander Family,

It is amazing how quickly the end of the year has gotten here. Thank you for welcoming me to the Rhino family. I have enjoyed my first year at Rylander. As we wrap up the last day of school tomorrow, please read over the 5th Grade Clap-out information below. This will be the last Rhino Report until mid-July. Enjoy your summer and thank you for everything you have done to support the school as well as volunteer for all the fantastic events for our students.

Have a great summer!

ACCESS TO 2023 STATE TESTING RESULTS USING THE FAMILY PORTAL   

The STAAR redesign was fully implemented in the spring 2023 for all grades/subjects and courses.  Due to the changes, the reporting of performance standards will be later in the summer.  As in previous years, the state assessment outcomes will provide families with detailed information about their student’s areas of strength, as well as any gaps in learning. Parents can access the state’s Family Portal for assessment results by using their child’s Unique Student Access Code. Parents may utilize the Parent Directions To Access State Testing Results (ENG./SPA.) document located on the Katy ISD Department of Research, Assessment, and Accountability website. Final test results will be available in the Family Portal by the end-of-day listed in the chart below:  

STUDENT DEVICES FOR CHECK-OUT  

Parents may complete the Student Device Checkout Request form for their student to check out a Chromebook for home use. As with other devices with an internet connection, the Chromebook enables students to log in to MyKaty Cloud to access campus resources including Canvas, encyclopedias, informational databases, and other learning tools. 

HOME ACCESS CENTER (HAC)    

As a reminder, parents of elementary and secondary students are asked to check the HAC to stay abreast of their student(s) current six or nine weeks assignment grades and grade average.  HAC reflects the most accurate academic progress of students.     

To ensure secondary students refer to the HAC to verify current grades on assignments and six weeks grade average, the following message is housed on the Canvas homepage:
