Countdown to STAAR

Countdown to STAAR      




Hello Parents, 
We are in the final push before the STAAR test.  The students have worked hard so far this year, and we are excited to see their hard work pay off.  I wanted to send a few reminders and important facts about the STAAR test...


1.  Math Testing May 8th


2.  Reading Testing May 9th


3.  We will test in the morning on both days with lunch at  12:30.


4   Students are allowed to bring a snack of their own, but we will also provide a small water bottle and snack for each student both days.


5.  The test will be four hours, unless otherwise noted.


6.  If a student finishes early, they may read a book, but do no other activities.


7.  Please contact me if you have any questions about how your child will test.


8.  Be sure to get a nice nights rest and breakfast for both days.  


***Please note that students that get sick during the test will not be allowed a make up, so be sure your child is not sick the morning  before the test.  Makeups will be later in the week if needed for absent students***
