Principal's Message
ELK Family,
This week is STAAR EOC testing week. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, March 28 - English 1 EOC
Thursday, March 30 - English 2 EOC
Students currently enrolled in English 1 or English 2 or who need to retest will test on these days. Students who are not testing will attend their regular classes.
Students who are testing will eat lunch in their testing room. Students may bring a lunch from home or order a lunch from the cafeteria (that will be delivered to the testing room) on testing day. Parents MAY NOT deliver lunch to the school on testing days. Students will not be allowed to leave the testing rooms to pick up lunch from the office.
We will have a slightly altered bell schedule those days - students who are testing will remain in their testing rooms until 3:00 pm - which will be until the end of 7th period. All students will go to 8th period.
If you have any questions about testing, please contact Courtney Taylor at ctaylor@bisdmail.net.
Go ELKS!!
