The purpose of this email is to notify districts of updates to the 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 Student Assessment Testing Calendars. In response to feedback we received from districts and the ֱ Association of School Administrators (TASA) ֱCabinet, as well as in consultation with TASA’s executive leadership, the ֱ Education Agency (TEA) has revised the testing calendars. The revised calendars are posted on the TEA website at .
The State of ֱ Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) paper assessments will continue to be available during a one-week testing window for April and May; however, the one-week paper administration has been moved up to coincide with the first week of the two-week online administration. Online testing for April and May STAAR assessments will continue to be available during a two-week testing window (except for grades 4 and 7 writing, English I, and English II, which are administered on a scheduled date for both paper and online).
Please call the Student Assessment Division at (512) 463-9536 if you have any questions about this information.
