MYP (6-10) ManageBac report cards

The MYP ManageBac Report Card will no longer be sent out during the summer as it was in past years. The grades seen on the EOY report card in Skyward will reflect both the IB grade 1-7 and the percentage associated with the IB grade, for example, 5/88 = IB grade 5 and 88%. Look for grades to be finalized by Tuesday, May 27!

Families will be able to retrieve student 2025 STAAR scores this summer. We have details on how to access STAAR on this news article to make it easier to find over the summer. Bookmark this news page.
