The Weekly Update #4

This newsletter is to share information about the PTISD bilingual/ESL program. It will include updates on events, adult education services, and state-level changes affecting bilingual education.

For the 2025-2026 school year, students will qualify for reclassification with a composite score of Advanced High when those four domains are added together. Students will also be required to pass their STAAR Reading or English EOC without support to reclassify.

NEW: Students who are parent denials may receive accommodations on their state testing. Accommodations are no longer a barrier to keep students from reclassification from the ESL or Bilingual programs.

The TELPAS 2024 assessment for all EB students will take place between February 17 and March 28. Each campus will have its own schedule for when tests will be administered. Students will complete two assessments: listening and speaking, and reading and writing. Your classroom teachers will grade grades K-1 in these areas. Students in grades 2-12 will complete the assessments online.
