Humble ISD will be hosting opportunities to take the Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2) at different campuses across the district at no charge. These opportunities are being offered as a convenience to families of students who will be taking college-level classes now or in the future.

All 8th graders interested in exploring Dual Credit courses including the Dual Credit Summer Academy should take the TSIA2. The TSIA2 has 2 domains: English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. 8th grade students are encouraged to focus their practice on the TSIA2 ELAR since the math component covers material through Algebra II.

Students take TSIA2 tests on a computer and results are provided immediately upon completion of the exam. Practice tests can be accessed at this link. For more information, you can visit the College Board website.

If you have questions, please contact Dr. Tong Utakrit, Humble ISD Director of Advanced Learning and Services, at tong.utakrit@humbleisd.net.

CCMR is a component of the student achievement domain measuring graduates' preparedness for college, career, or military. RMS counselors have assisted students in creating a CCMR goal for the future during the first nine weeks guidance lesson. Students will continue to assess their CCMR plans and take age-appropriate steps to achieve their goals while at RMS.

REP stands for: Respect everyone, Earn everything and Persevere always. More than just talking about these values, we want to teach students how to act on these values. Students will discuss relevant character topics during REP Time as well as academic strategies such as note-taking, studying and more.

At Riverwood, we believe that every student is unique and that requires us to serve each one differently. To do so, we must invest time into each child and learn what their unique strengths and challenges are, as well as their unique interests. To ensure we do this, we have developed a personalized approach to counseling.

We have officially started our personal counseling meetings. In these meetings, we will discuss the goals your child sets for themselves and plan for their academic adventures, while meeting their social and emotional needs.

A comprehensive school counseling program is an integral component of the school’s mission. Comprehensive school counseling programs are driven by student data and based on the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Program guidelines.
