Throughout the next couple of weeks, parents and students will be able to access their STAAR and EOC scores in the TEA Family Portal. There are two ways that this can be done.
1. The easiest way to access the scores is through Skyward. Here is a video to show you how to access those scores through Skyward: https://screenpal.com/watch/c01tYLVgQjg
2. Go to the TEA Family Portal located at www.texasassessment.gov. To login to the TEA Family Portal you will need the following:
- Unique Student Access Code (The Unique Student Access Code can be found on any previous STAAR Report Cards)
- Date of Birth
- Legal first name.
Here are the dates that the scores will be available in the TEA Family Portal:
June 7: EOC (High School) Results

June 20: STAAR Alt 2 Results
If your student was not enrolled in Vernon ISD at the end of the 2023-2024 school year, they may not have access through Skyward. If anyone is unable to access the scores through Skyward, please email chantilly.sweet@visdtx.org and provide your student's name, campus and grade level.

Our annual 5th Grade Egg Drop was held Tuesday afternoon on the south side of Vernon Elementary. Students had to make containers that would keep an egg safe from drops of 20, feet, 30 feet and 40 feet. There were quite a few who accomplished that feat as the last picture shows!! All the students had fun watching their container fall to the ground and then holding their breath until they saw if their egg had survived. A big THANK YOU to AEP for assisting us with this experiment.
