Valley Mills ISD leaders outline STAAR testing, bullying presentation and spring activities
Summary
Elementary and secondary administrators reported plans for STAAR testing beginning April 15, a 'What is Bullying' student presentation and parent seminar on April 28, Pre-K/K roundup next week, and upcoming prom and UIL events.
Elementary and secondary administrators used the March 26 board meeting to outline spring testing and school events. Mrs. Tessa Dowdy told trustees that STAAR testing for district students is scheduled to begin April 15; the elementary campus is using groupings based on Mock STAAR data and has planned a 'What is Bullying' presentation for grades 1–5 and a parent seminar on April 28. Mrs. Dowdy also reported Pre-K/K roundup scheduled the following week to help estimate incoming enrollment and highlighted teacher and employee recognitions, naming Melody Pembleton (Teacher of the Month) and Lori Buxkemper (Employee of the Month). The minutes list multiple fourth-grade students of the month by name.
Chad Adkins reported that junior high and high school staff have adjusted intervention groups, are using released STAAR tests to gather progress data and are conducting staff interviews as spring activities intensify. He noted prom will be held this weekend at the Castle in Whitney and listed students and staff recognized for the month. The minutes show widespread campus activity but do not record any formal board action on these reports.
