Districts work on 2024-25 calendars Alvin ISD, Friendswood ISD and Pearland ISD are considering approving their respec- tive 2024-25 academic calendars in January. The gist For Friendswood, the district is consid- ering three options, according to district documents. One option in particular has the support of roughly two-thirds of staff. Alvin ISD’s board approved its calendar on Jan. 9, and held a survey in November for stakeholders to voice their opinions, according to district documents. Pearland ISD sought feedback on its cal- endar until Jan. 5, according to the district’s website. It is considering two calendar options. For more information on each calendar, visit the district websites.

Pearland ISD officials released benchmark data in December for its students and saw a majority of students across each grade level pass their respective subjects. The gist In October and November, PISD gave bench- mark exams to students in grades 3-8 on a number of subjects, as well as Algebra 1, English 1 and English 2, which are high school courses, according to district documents. The results showed the majority of students for each exam approached grade level, or passed, the benchmark, according to the data. In some cases, such as eighth grade social studies, the majority of students showed mastery of the subject, according to the data.
