Dear Lake Travis ISD Parents/Guardians,
As you may already know, students across Texas participated in the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR)/End of Course (EOC) exams this past spring. Federal and state laws require that all students participate in summative assessments in grades 3-8 and in specific high school courses. Your child’s STAAR score provides you with the assurance that your child is prepared to enter the next grade level through the student’s mastery of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for a given course. Finally, the results provide educators and administrators with uniform information about where to focus resources and instruction to meet the needs of each student, especially in the core subjects being taught for the following school year.
- For students who participated in STAAR EOC English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology, and/or U.S. History:
Spring 2024 STAAR EOC results will be available via the state's online Family Portal through Skyward Family Access on June 7. - For Emergent Bilingual students (English Learners):
TELPAS results will be available via the state's online Family Portal through Skyward Family Access on June 12. Your child's scores from last year will be displayed if you access the Family Portal prior to this date. - For students who participated in STAAR for grades 3-8:
Spring 2024 STAAR results will be available via the state's online Family Portal through Skyward Family Access on June 14. Please note that your child's 2023 scores will be displayed if you access the Family Portal before this date. Additionally, because they were first-time test takers, scores for third-grade students will not be displayed before June 14.
Parent STAAR/EOC Resources:
Please note, your child's Unique Access Code is provided in Skyward Family Access under the Texas Assessments tile. The code is labeled "PAC ID." This video demonstrates how to find the code in Skyward Family Access.
For questions or concerns, or should you need assistance accessing the Family Portal, please contact your child's campus directly.
Sincerely,
Marco Alvarado
Executive Director for Communications & Community Relations

We are pleased to announce the opening of Returning Student Verification for the 2024-2025 school year.
