HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TITLE I, PART A, PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM

Bonner Elementary 8100 Elrod Houston, Texas 77017

December 15, 2016

TO: Parents of Students Attending Bonner Elementary

SUBJECT: Explanation of HISD Curriculum

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires all Title I schools to provide to parents a description and explanation of the curriculum in use at the campus. The State Board of Education adopted the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as the official K-12 curriculum for all Texas schools. The TEKS identify what students should know and be able to do at every grade level and in every course in the foundation and enrichment subjects as they move successfully through schools. These learning standards will help ensure that all students can meet the following challenges of the 21St Century:

• Each student must become a more effective reader. • Each student will have to know and apply more complex mathematics. • Each student needs to develop a stronger understanding of science concepts, especially in

biology, chemistry, and physics. • Each student must master social studies skills and content necessary to be a responsible adult

citizen. • Each student must master a wider range of technology.

To view the descriptions of the TEKS online, visit: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148. If you do not have access to the Internet, please call the contact person listed at the end of this letter and this information will be provided to you.

The HISD curriculum, which is based on the TEKS, includes non-negotiable objectives that must be taught at every grade level; however, individual schools are held accountable for innovative, instructional programs and results. Every student will be provided equal access to rigorous instruction and academic programs. HISD recognizes, however, that some students may need extra assistance to obtain high academic achievement, and this assistance is available through the Title I program. HISD will include parents in appropriate decision-making opportunities to support student academic achievement.

If you have questions concerning this letter or need paper copies of the material referenced on the web site, contact the school's Title I Campus Contact Person, Sharon Zallis-Youngblood at (713) 943-5740 during school hours, or e-mail [email protected].

HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT TITLE I, PART A, PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM

Bonner Elementary 8100 Elrod Houston, Texas 77017

December 15,2016

TO: Parents of Students Attending Bonner Elementary

SUBJECT: Explanation and Description of Assessments

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires all Title I schools to provide to parents a description and explanation of the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress. Below are various assessments that HISD and its schools use throughout the year. In addition, local assessments that are used at Bonner to measure student progress are also included at the end of this letter.

In the Spring of 2012, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAARTM) replaced the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). The STAAR program at grades 3-8 will assess the same subjects and grades that were previously assessed on TAKS. At the high school level, however, grade-specific assessments will be replaced with 5 end-of-course (EOC) assessments: Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History. Students enrolled in grades 11 or 12 and have TAKS as a graduation requirement, will be administered Exit-Level TAKS until the standard has been attained.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has developed the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness Alternate (STAARTM Alternate 2) to meet the federal requirements mandated under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), a federal education law reauthorized as the No Child Left Behind law. STAAR Alternate 2 is designed for the purpose of assessing students in grades 3-8 and high school who have significant cognitive disabilities and are receiving special education services.

IOWA is a norm-referenced achievement test that measures students' academic achievement in reading, writing, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.

Logramos is a norm-referenced achievement test for students whose primary language of instruction is Spanish. It measures students' academic achievement in reading, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.

TELPAS is designed to measure the English language proficiency of K-12 English Language Learners in four language domains: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The CogAT measures reasoning and problem-solving skills in three different areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. Reasoning skills develop gradually throughout a person's lifetime and at different rates for different individuals. Reasoning abilities are good predictors of success in school and are important outcomes of good schooling. CogAT does not measure such factors as effort, attention, motivation, and work habits, which also contribute importantly to school achievement.

To find out more about the STAAR study guides and released tests, visit the Texas Education Agency's Web site at www.tea.texas.qov/student.assessment/staar/. If you do not have access to the Internet, please call the contact person listed at the end of this letter and this information will be provided to you.

In addition to the assessments above, Bonner also uses the following assessment(s) to measure student progress:

• High Frequency Word Evaluation • Reading Running Records

Bonner Elementary 8100 Elrod Houston, Texas 77017

December 15, 2016

PARA: Padres de alumnos de Bonner

ASUNTO: Explicacion y descripcion de las evaluaciones

La Ley "Que Ningun Nino se Quede Atras" (No Child Left Behind, NCLB) requiere que todas las escuelas de Titulo I brinden a los padres una descripcion y explicacion de las evaluaciones acadernicas que se usan para medir el progreso estudiantil. Abajo se definen algunas de las evaluaciones que HISD administra en el curso del ciclo escolar. Ademas, las evaluaciones locales que se administran en Bonner para medir el progreso estudiantil se incluyen al final de esta carta.

En la primavera de 2012, el programa de Evaluaciones de la Preparacion Acadernica del Estado de Texas (STAARTM) sustituy6 al Examen de Conocimientos y Habilidades de Texas (TAKS). En los niveles de tercero a octavo grado, el programa STAARTM evaluara las mismas materias que se evaltlan actualmente en la prueba TAKS. En la escuela preparatoria, no obstante, las evaluaciones que se administran en cada grado escolar seran reemplazadas por 5 examenes de fin de curso (EOC): Algebra I, Biologia, Ingles I, Ingles II e Historia de EE.UU. A los estudiantes inscritos en 11.° y 12.° grado que deban rendir el TAKS como requisito de graduaci6n se les administrara el examen TAKS de salida hasta que hayan logrado cumplir con la norma.

La Agencia de Educacion de Texas (TEA) ha creado el programa de Evaluaciones de la Preparacion Acadernica del estado de Texas Alternativo (STAARTM Alternativo2) para cumplir con los requisitos federales obligatorios de la Ley de Enserianza Primaria y Secundaria (ESEA), una ley federal de educacion reautorizada como No Child Left Behind o "Que Ningun Nino se Quede Atras". STAARTM Alternativo2 fue diseriado con el prop6sito de evaluar a los estudiantes de 3.° a 8.° grado y de preparatoria que tengan discapacidades cognitivas significativas y reciban servicios de educacion especial.

CogAT es una prueba que evalua las habilidades de razonamiento y la capacidad para resolver problemas en tres areas: verbal, cuantitativa y no verbal. Las habilidades de razonamiento son las que las personas desarrollan gradualmente a lo largo de la vida y a diferente ritmo cada una. Estas habilidades son buenos indicadores de futuro exito escolar y resultan de las buenas practicas de enserianza. CogAT no mide factores como el esfuerzo, la atencion, la motivacion y los habitos de trabajo, que tambien contribuyen en gran medida al rendimiento estudiantil.

IOWA es una prueba normativa que mide el rendimiento academic° de los estudiantes en Lectura, Escritura, Artes del Lenguaje, Maternaticas, Ciencias y Estudios Sociales.
