PASS Program Offers $400 in Literacy Tutoring Support for Eligible Third Graders

Robstown, Texas — Robstown ISD is sharing a new opportunity to help eligible third-grade students strengthen their reading and literacy skills through the Parent Access to Supplemental Supports (PASS) program.

PASS provides eligible families with a $400 online account that can be used to purchase approved tutoring services focused on reading and literacy. Families can choose from approved providers, including in-person tutors, virtual tutors and eligible TIA-designated teachers.

To qualify for PASS, a student must be currently enrolled in a Texas public school and have scored “Did Not Meet Grade Level” in reading on the Grade 3 state assessment during the 2025–2026 school year. Eligible families can receive access to a $400 online account to use toward approved literacy tutoring services.

Parents can create a PASS Portal account now and will be able to apply once the application period opens this fall. If approved, families will be able to select a tutor and begin accessing supplemental literacy support for their child.

Families who are unsure of their child's STAAR score can view assessment results through the Skyward Family Portal.

For additional information or assistance, families may contact their campus principal or the Robstown ISD Teaching & Learning Department at (361) 767-6600 ext. 2025.
