How can our school align with HB 4545 learning requirements?

A Guide for HB 4545

Under Texas HB 4545, it is essential for students in Texas schools in grades 3-12 to receive 30 hours of additional intervention time if they haven’t reached ‘Approaches’ in key content areas on the STARR assessment or end of course (EOC) exam,

If you are a school in Texas currently using Enriching Students® or are a school or District looking for a tool to manage intervention and enrichment time to meet these standards, here’s how we can help. Check out the articles on the right to learn how your school can align its practices to meet the HB 4545 requirements.

Staff App

The Staff App enables teachers to quickly and efficiently schedule students for extra help, enrichment, interventions, and more. Create student groups, custom offerings, and most importantly, meet your students’ needs!

Attendance and Engagement Tracking

Take attendance for students during flex time that includes participation values like ‘Present/Participating’ or ‘Present/Inactive’. This can help with accountability, and also noticing patterns that will help educators pinpoint student needs.

Unscheduled Student Reporting

With our Unscheduled Students report, no student will be missed. Select a date range, and in one place easily identify and schedule students that failed to schedule themselves or were not scheduled by another staffer.

Student Web App

Our mobile-optimized student account gives students a user-friendly experience using their 1 to 1 device. Students can access their accounts using Clever®, Classlink®, or Google® sign-on to view their weekly schedule and available course offerings, as well as request and schedule appointments.

Email Notifications

Email notifications allow you to send students a copy of their weekly schedule so they know what appointments they have for the week. Email one student, a group of students, or all students school-wide their schedule with just a few clicks. Additionally, parents can also be emailed a copy of the schedule if they choose.

Create Custom Session Offerings

Want to have a workshop, test prep session, or enrichment offering during flex? Enriching Students® gives you the ability to create custom course offerings for a specific flex period, day, or range of dates. This allows you to create special sessions that you can schedule students to, or that they can sign up for.

Your Students Are Priceless

When they don’t succeed, you suffer, the community suffers, & most of all, the students suffer.
There’s no need to roll the dice with your students’ future. Schedule time with students to give them your very best.

To give students the time they need, you also need a schedule that works.
