IStation is provided by the State of Texas to help students in grades K-8 improve in Reading. Our kids love it because it feels like they are playing a game - but shhhh! - they are really learning. You will need to install the program on your computer or tablet. Begin by going to www.istation.com/istationHome/TX or the App Store.
Home Access Center is a great way to stay informed of your child's progress. Why wait until 3 week progress reports or 6 week report cards are sent home to learn how he/she did on that test? Sign up for an account, and you will stay up to date! https://homeaccess.saisd.org/HomeAccess/Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fhomeaccess%2f
