Military Child Education Coalition - A coalition of military installations and departments, school districts, professionals and parents who want to support the educational needs of all military children. To enter Kindergarten, a child must be 5 years of age on or before September 1 of the enrollment year. To enter first grade, a child must be 6 on or before September 1 of the enrollment year. Parents of Kindergarten or first graders should bring their birth certificate and proof of immunization.
State law requires immunization for all students enrolled in Texas schools.
For information on requirements, contact your local independent school district office. Various state and national tests are administered to students during the school year. Information received from these tests is used by teachers and administrators to determine students' strengths and areas which require remediation. TAAS is given in grades three, five, seven, nine, and exit level TAAS tests are given to 11th and 12th graders. The mastering of the exit level TAAS test is a state requirement for graduation.
