				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tsd.texas.gov/apps/news/article/2102475</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Why MAP Testing Matters

This week, middle school students will be setting personal goals to help guide their learning. Next week, we’ll take the NWEA MAP test, which helps us see how much you’ve learned and how you’re growing.

Why is MAP important?

It’s about YOU. MAP shows your teachers your strengths and where you may need more support.

It helps set goals. Your scores help you and your teachers make goals that keep you moving forward.

It measures growth. Every test shows progress, even small steps. Growth is success!

It connects to the state. As part of our agreement (MOU) with the Texas Education Agency (TEA), MAP helps make sure you’re on track and receiving the best support possible.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[⏰ New Bell Schedule: Focused Time for Core Learning]]></title>
				<link>http://www.tsd.texas.gov/apps/news/article/2088619</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tsd.texas.gov/apps/news/article/2088619</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[As part of our ongoing efforts to support academic growth and maximize instructional impact, we are introducing a new bell schedule this year. Most classes will meet for 45 minutes, but Math and Bilingual Language Arts (BLA) courses will be double-blocked—meaning students will have 90 minutes of focused instruction each day in these core areas.

This intentional structure provides students with more time to establish strong foundations in literacy and math, while also fostering meaningful engagement in both American Sign Language and English. The extended time in BLA and Math enables deeper learning, critical thinking, and greater support for each learner.

We’re excited about the possibilities this brings for student success across all grades!]]></description>
