STAAR Tests Schedules: This is the last week of STAAR testing. This week we have Algebra I tests and MATH for grade 8 on Tuesday and Wednesday we have Math grades 3, 4, and 5. Be sure your student gets a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast to be prepared for the test. These tests are VERY important! Please review. It is important that your child is present at school on the day of their tests. We ask that you schedule needed appointments around these dates, this includes picking your child up early on these dates. The tests do not have a time limit, so students could be testing all day. Students should dress comfortably but also stay within dress code and no blankets or Pjs. Good luck to all the students!!!
