Federal Report Cards Information

Centerville is sharing this information about the district and your child’s campus with you as part of its obligations under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB).

Federal Report Cards for the state, the district, and each of the district’s campuses are now available on the district’s website, or are also available on the Texas Education Agency’s website.

Information on these report cards includes:

Part I:  Percent Tested and Student Achievement by Proficiency Level: Provides the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) performance results and participation for each subject area and grade level tested.

Participation reports also include reports of the participation of Children with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) by assessment type.

Part II:  Student Achievement and State Academic Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs): Provides the AMO outcomes and data table of STAAR performance results for each subject area tested in the accountability subset. This section also includes participation rates on STAAR for reading/English and mathematics, use of alternative assessments, plus four-year and five-year graduation rates.

Part III:  Priority and Focus Schools: Priority schools are the lowest 5% of Title I served campuses based on performance in reading and mathematics and graduation rates.  Focus schools are 10% of Title I served campuses, not already identified as priority schools, that have the widest gaps between student group performance and safeguard targets.

Part IV:  Teacher Quality Data: Provides information on teacher quality in three parts.

Part A – Percent of Teachers by Highest Degree Held – Professional qualifications of all public elementary and secondary teachers in the Texas.

Part B and C – Teachers with Emergency/Provisional Credentials, Low Poverty/High Poverty Summary Reports – Percentage of all public elementary and secondary school teachers teaching with emergency or provisional credentials, disaggregated by high-poverty compared to low-poverty schools.

Part V: Graduates Enrolled in Texas Institution of Higher Education (IHE): Provides the percentage of students who enroll and begin instruction at an institution of higher education in Texas during the school year (fall or spring semester) following high school graduation.

Part VI:  Statewide National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Results: Provides most recent NAEP results for Texas showing reading and mathematics performance results and participation rates, disaggregated by student group.

If you have difficulty accessing the information from the website, hard copies of the reports are available at the district or campus office.  If you have questions about the information, please contact Dr. Amie Pennington.

Positive behavior support initiative

This School-Wide Positive Behavior Support Project has been developed by our staff to create our guidelines for success called Cheetah HALL Stars. 

H is for "hands to yourself."

A is for "all eyes forward."

L is for "lips zipped."

L is for "low speed."

When a teacher, staff member or class notices another class following all 4 stars, that class receives "STAR" affirmation and earns a star on a chart. Stars can be earned at lunch, specials, restroom breaks and transition times throughout the day. At the end of each Thursday, stars will be counted on the charts and the class with the most stars will be awarded "Hall stars."

This class will be announced on Friday's morning announcements. They will receive the "Hall stars" wreath for their door and extra recess with the "fun tub" that Friday. If weather does not permit extra recess, a treat will be provided for the class.

Attendance

• You have three school days to send a note providing a reason for the absence, your child's name, date of absence, and your signature. After three days it will be considered unexcused.

• Violation of the compulsory attendance law occurs when a child accumulates unexcused voluntary absences on 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period or three or more days or parts of days within a four week period.

Dress code

Students will follow the Garland ISD school dress code. We do not have standardized dress at this time.

Arrival

• School doors open at 7:30 a.m. We do not provide supervision before 7:30 a.m. Any unattended students will be reported to the authorities.

• Breakfast will be served from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Children arriving after 8:00 a.m. will not be served breakfast.

• Students arriving after 8:10 a.m. need to sign in at the office with a parent.  

Dismissal

• Students are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. At 3:40 p.m. remaining students are taken to the office. Parents will need to visit the office to pick up their children.

• Curbside pick up is mandatory for all students who are picked up in a car. Please do not park your car in the driveway for any reason. Place the current car tag provided to you in the front car window so that it is visible to the school staff, and we will have your student escorted to your car. Please use the parking area to park your car if you need to enter the building.

• K-2 students will wait at the front of the school on their respected benches for their names to be called. 3-5 students will wait for their names to be called inside the cafeteria. This will also be their location for parent walk-up. The door is located beside the front office entrance. Make sure you have a current car tag/small tag and photo ID for pick up.

• The back parking lot, off of Centerville Road, is NOT for parent pick up during the day or dismissal. This parking lot is reserved ONLY for staff, buses, daycare, and special circumstances. Please contact the office if you have any questions. 

• Early pickup: If you need to pick up a student early, they must be signed out through the office. Picking up a student early will count as a partial day absence. Only individuals with a photo ID will be allowed to sign out a child.

• Do Not Park in the handicapped designated areas. This is for those with placards and will be subject to towing at owner's expense. 

Visitors

• All visitors, with proper ID, must sign in at the front office and receive a visitor’s badge.

• Parents are welcome to eat lunch with their child on “Family Friday.” (Visitors will not be allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria on any other day.)

Tardies

Students are considered tardy if they are not in their class by 8:10 AM. Students arriving after 8:10 AM need to be escorted to the office by a parent before going to their classrooms. Students should have a written note that is signed by the parent or guardian explaining the delay.
