Dream Camp is here to help!
Given the disruptions of the 2020-2021 school year, the 87th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 4545 (HB 4545) to address unfinished learning. This new legislation, signed on June 16, 2021, describes additional learning opportunities for students who do not meet standards on the STAAR exam in the 2021 - 2022 school year. More information on HB 4545 can be found at: House Bill 4545 Implementation Overview | Texas Education Agency
During the week of May 23-27, 2022, administrators from your elementary campus will contact you if your student is recommended to attend Accelerated Instruction at Dream Camp. Students are recommended if they do not perform satisfactorily on a STAAR or STAAR Alt exam and are identified as needing to participate in 30 or 60 hours of extra tutoring during the summer to accelerate their learning per subject. Students who do not complete the 30 or 60 hours this summer will need to complete their hours during the 2022-2023 school year.
Who: 3rd or 4th grade students needing to attend the Accelerated Instruction at Dream Camp summer program to obtain their 30 or 60 hours.
What: Accelerated instruction that includes whole and small group math and/or reading instruction that is individualized to meet each student’s needs. Students who need to obtain 30 hours of tutoring per HB 4545 in one or both subject areas must begin attending on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 until they have acquired their 30 or 60 total hours of instruction. A student who attends daily instruction could potentially complete the 30 hours as early as Tuesday, June 14, 2022 or complete the 60 hours as early as Tuesday, June 22, 2022.
