Make-up testing in April & May
We expect students to do their very best on the STAAR Assessment. Many educational decisions are based on the results. The test results will help us make focused instructional decisions concerning your child’s needs. I would appreciate you doing the following to assist your child with testing:
-
Make sure your child goes to bed by 8:30 p.m.
-
Encourage your child to put effort into the testing and stay focused.
-
Do not schedule doctor’s appointments on testing days, AND please do not arrive late or take them out of school early on these days.
-
Please make sure they eat a good, healthy breakfast. If they eat at school, please ensure they arrive by 7:15 so they have plenty of time to eat.
-
STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING ELECTRONICS SUCH AS CELL PHONES ON TESTING DAYS. A $25 fee will be assessed if a cell phone is confiscated.
-
Students are NOT to bring a backpack to school on testing days.
Thank you for your support and cooperation in ensuring your child succeeds.
Sincerely,
Heather Rauls, Principal
Joann Aguilar, Assistant Principal
Amy Jo Tejada, Instructional Coach
