The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, will begin this week. On Tuesday, April 1st, our 4th grade will participate in Day One of the Writing STAAR, and the 5th grade will take the STAAR Math assessment. On Wednesday, April 2nd, 4th grade will complete Day Two of the Writing STAAR, and fifth grade will take the STAAR Reading assessment.

We encourage our students to:

• Go to bed early
• Be on time for school
• All grade levels being tested will be fed breakfast.
• Plan to bring your lunch from home that morning or purchase your lunch from the cafeteria on these two testing days. Food brought in for lunch will not be allowed for any grade level, 3rd, 4th, or 5th, on testing days. VISITORS for lunch will not be permitted on campus on April 2nd or 3rd.
• Students may bring one, sealed bottle of room-temperature water. Any other drink will not be allowed.

We are proud of our students and know that they are ready to show what they can do. Let’s stand behind them and show our support by making sure these tips are followed by all.
