STAAR Testing Next Week
Your students have been well-prepared as we lead up to testing and we are so proud of them. We also want you to know that where your child will test and in what room was planned so that we meet the needs of each child. Our first priority is to reduce student anxiety so that they are able to perform at peak, which is a challenge when you have three grade levels testing.
As parents you can help your child on each of the days that they are testing by making sure they get a good nights sleep, eat a healthy breakfast that includes protein, and by sending them off with hugs and positive words. Once they arrive at SLE we will pick up the ball and carry it by encouraging them as well!
We are so proud of our Shooting Stars and know that next week will be a wonderful time for them to show the state of Texas what they have learned this year.
