Perryton ISD reports preliminary test access, summer school numbers and new attendance plan
Summary
Superintendent and administration briefed the board on preliminary assessment release dates, summer-school participation and a districtwide attendance plan launched by principals; the board praised the staff leading the effort.
PERRYTON — Perryton ISD administrators told the board on Tuesday they expect preliminary results for grades 3–8 soon, outlined summer‑school participation and introduced a districtwide attendance plan designed to recover post‑COVID enrollment and attendance losses.
Doctor Hill told the board that preliminary scores for grades 3–8 would be available to parents the following day; end‑of‑course (EOC) scores were available last week. Hill said final EOC results are not expected until July 16, and final 3–8 results are expected by July 25. “We sent out a thing through ParentSquare of how parents can access those scores,” Hill said.
Summer school ran June 2–19 from 8 a.m. to noon; the administration extended invitations to 109 students and 80 attended, Hill said. The retest dates for June were set for students who needed EOC retakes.
Hill outlined an attendance‑focus committee convened by campus principals and led in part by Mrs. Hale. The committee set a goal of 97 percent districtwide attendance and recommended a consistent district plan that campuses may adapt locally. Proposed measures include parent messaging at registration, tiered campus intervention (tiers 1–3) and age‑appropriate attendance goals for younger students.
Superintendent Brown highlighted Hale’s work in pulling campus staff together and described the committee’s plan as a practical set of strategies rather than a single mandate. “It’s better to do something about it than just cross our fingers and hope,” Brown said.
Administration indicated a final, data‑driven attendance report will return to the board as the plan is implemented and that the district will continue to monitor progress.
