Dear Parent,

Attached you will find a copy of the State of Texas 2009-10 School Report Card for Sivells Bend ISD.  This is a report required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. It is to be sent to the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in the public schools. The report provides information concerning student performance as well as information concerning expenditures, average class size, and student/teacher ratios.

The information contained in the School Report Card is required by state law and is briefly described in the enclosed “2009-10 School Report Card Definitions.” The report for our school may or may not have all the information described, because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school.

State law requires that the information be provided for the state, the district, the school, and a group of schools similar to our school.  Where possible, the information must be reported by ethnicity and socio-economic status of the students and must include at least two years of results.

The School Report Cards can be found on the internet at:

A more complete report about Sivells Bend ISD, the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report, is available by contacting my office or can be accessed online at:

Please contact me if you have any questions concerning this report card.  Thank you for your continued support of Sivells Bend ISD

Sincerely,

Philip L. Newton, Superintendent Principal

Sivells Bend ISD
