Carroll ISD To Host STAAR, EOC Meetings

Parents of current freshmen students enrolled at Carroll High School are invited to attend one of four public meetings designed to help parents learn more about the state end of course tests and how these tests will impact their children.

The meetings are scheduled for tonight at 6 p.m. in the CHS cafeteria; 6 p.m. October 3 in the CHS cafeteria; noon on October 5th in the CHS library; and 6 p.m. on October 12 in the CHS cafeteria.

Members of the district’s Teaching & Learning Services Department have prepared informational presentations on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness or STAAR. Local officials say they are still waiting on some answers from the state about how the STAAR and EOC exams will be implemented, but parents need to be informed about how the new testing systems will affect their child now through graduation.

Parents are encouraged to attend just one of the four, repeat presentations. Information will be sent via letter and posted to the CISD website afterward for those parents unable to attend.

Homecoming Game Tickets

As expected, we are expecting homecoming game tickets for the home side are to be sold out sometime today. We currently have a small number of home side tickets, 150, still available at CHS for adults. Please remember these could be sold out today.


Once home side tickets are completed fans can still purchase visitor side tickets online or at the Dragon Stadium. As of this morning, we have approximately 2500 visitor tickets. However, all visitor side tickets purchased online or at the stadium must sit on the visitor side. There is no cross-over and security will monitor this very close. The tickets are marked for visitor side and anyone leaving the stadium will have a color coded stamp to indicate home or visitor side.
 
Thank you and see you on Friday night at Dragons Stadium.

Attention All Freshmen Families

With the start of the 2011-2012 school year we will be implementing our new Texas EOC testing for all freshmen students. Later in the semester we will provide a parent information session to distribute more information and data regarding the district policy for this test.
