Optional EOY Assessments

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is offering optional end-of-year (EOY) assessments for spring 2020. These assessments are an optional tool schools and parents can use to measure student progress and understanding of the statewide curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), taught this school year. The EOY assessments have been built using released State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) test questions that measure the TEKS. Please click HERE for more information.

COVID 19 Information / School Closure

Given the evolving situation with the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and recommendations of the authorities, LAE will be closed until it is deemed safe to resume normal operations. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority.

As a reminder, LAE staff provided access to curriculum resources for students in grades PK3-8th prior to Spring Break.
Learning packets were sent home with PK students and login information was sent with students in K-8th grades.

LAE's COVID-19 Parent Letter (Spanish)

The CDC recommends the following steps for individuals who have traveled to Level 3 Travel Health Notice countries and areas in the U.S. affected by COVID-19:

1. Take your temperature with a thermometer two times a day and monitor for fever. Also watch for cough or trouble breathing.
2. Stay home and avoid contact with others. Do not go to work or school for this 14-day period. Discuss your work situation with your employer before returning to work.
3. Do not take public transportation, taxis, or ride-shares during the time you are practicing social distancing.
4. Avoid crowded places (such as shopping centers and movie theaters) and limit your activities in public.
5. Keep your distance from others (about 6 feet).

2020-21 Application Period Started Saturday, February 1st

The application period for new students started on on Saturday, February 1st. If you would like to enroll your child at La Academia de Estrellas for the 2020-21 school year, please complete either the online application on this website or go to one of our two school sites and complete a paper application. The application period will run from February 1st through March 31st. In grades where applications exceed the number of open spots, a lottery will be held in early April to determine which students will be admitted. All students not chosen in the lottery will be put on a grade-specific wait list in the chronological order that they applied. The parents of admitted students will be mailed enrollment packets by mid-April. LAE will continue to accept applications beyond March 31st, but these applications will be put on the waitlist after those accepted during the application period.

El período de solicitud para nuevos estudiantes comenzó el sàbado 1 de febrero. Si desea inscribir a su hijo en La Academia de Estrellas para el año escolar 2020-21, complete la solicitud en línea en este sitio web o visite una de nuestras dos escuelas y complete una solicitud en papel. El período de aplicación se extenderá desde el 1 de febrero hasta el 31 de marzo. En los grados donde las solicitudes exceden la cantidad de cupos abiertos, se realizará una lotería a principios de abril para determinar qué estudiantes serán admitidos. Todos los estudiantes que no hayan sido seleccionados en la lotería serán incluidos en una lista de espera específica para cada grado en el orden cronológico que aplicaron. Los padres de los estudiantes admitidos recibirán por correo paquetes de inscripción a mediados de abril. LAE continuará aceptando solicitudes después del 31 de marzo, pero estas solicitudes se colocarán en la lista de espera después de las aceptadas durante el período de solicitud.

Parents, we no longer send home paper calendars or lunch menus, and are trying to limit the number of other miscellaneous hands-outs as well. Instead, these handouts can be found here. Paper copies of these documents are available at the reception desk upon request.
