Week of May 2, 2022
Lake Travis ISD students are scheduled to take the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness exams at the high school starting on May 3 through the 5 with makeup exams scheduled May 9 and 11. Advanced Placement Exams will be administered May 2 to May 13, 2022.
As has been the practice on test days in the past, the district will limit visitors’ access to schools during May 2-13 in order to reduce distractions and help students focus on their tests. Students will not be dismissed early from school until testing has been completed.
Lake Travis ISD appreciates the community's cooperation.
Students will receive emails in their LTISD email about 24 hours prior to their exams with testing room assignments and other important testing details. The following exams must be taken on LTISD Chromebooks - Biology EOC, Algebra 1 EOC, US History EOC, AP Chinese Language, AP Spanish Language, AP French, AP Music Theory. Students must bring a Chromebook to their exam in order to take the test. Please bring the charger for your Chromebook as well.
