Dear Parents:

TELPAS is an assessment program for students in Texas public schools who are learning the English language. Texas annually assesses the English language proficiency of students who have been identified as English learners (ELs) in four language domains—listening, speaking, reading, and writing. TELPAS evaluates the progress that each EL makes in becoming proficient in the use of academic English.

Students in grades K-12 that have been identified as an EL are required to take TELPAS. This includes ELs whose parents have declined bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) program services. These students will stop participating in TELPAS once a student has met the state’s reclassification criteria; they will no longer be identified as an EL and will not have to participate in TELPAS.

Per TEA guidelines, listening/speaking and reading assessments are only administered online and cannot be administered remotely (at home). As such, TELPAS will only be administered on The Varnett Public School campuses between February 22 - April 9, 2021. All students, before entering the schools, will go through the proper screening process and will be required to wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times.

Dr. Margaret Stroud, Superintendent of Schools
