STAAR Parent Portal STAAR Parent Portal

Did you know? If your child is a current 4th or 5th grader who took the STAAR test last year, you can login to the Parent Portal to see how they answered the questions on the STAAR test last year! You can even see exactly what your child wrote on their writing sample (also known as their Extended Constructed Response or ECR).


Login to the Skyward Parent Portal, click the Texas Assessments tile, then the link that says Texas Assessment Results Website. If that doesn't work for you, you can also login here: https://tx-familyportal.cambiumast.com/#/ I am happy to provide you with your child's Unique Access Code if you need it and can't see it in Skyward!

Hendrickson High School Silver Dancers Booster Club is hosting their annual Egg My Yard fundraiser, where dancers deliver and hide candy & toy filled eggs in families' yards the evening before Easter for a fun surprise the next morning.


This fundraiser directly supports both the HHS Silver Dancers and the Navies dancers with competition expenses, travel and team needs throughout the year. It's a fun way to support our high school dancers while creating a memorable experience for younger students! See the flyer below for more information, as well as the link to order.
