- Unique Student Access Code (The Unique Student Access Code can be found on any previous STAAR Report Cards)

- Legal first name.
Here are the dates that the scores will be available in the TEA Family Portal:

June 20: STAAR Alt 2 Results
If your student was not enrolled in Vernon ISD at the end of the 2023-2024 school year, they may not have access through Skyward. If anyone is unable to access the scores through Skyward, please email chantilly.sweet@visdtx.org and provide your student's name, campus and grade level.
