The New STAAR Report Card from Texas Education Agency is here.
- The New STAAR Report Card Overview
Graduating from high school is a huge milestone for your child, but it’s important to plan and prepare for what comes next. At University Crossroads, we’re here to help your family navigate the many options for higher education and career training that are available.
Our free SAT Math workshops are a great way for students to polish math skills and go over test-taking tips that will make them more confident when the big day arrives. We also offer workshops to help you explore ways to pay for college including navigating financial aid forms and exploring scholarship opportunities. Please check our upcoming workshops and activities.
From navigating the application process to participating in campus tours and activities, we want to ease your stress as you and your child prepare for life after high school and the many opportunities available.
