STAAR Testing Tuesday 5/10 and Wednesday 5/11
STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) testing time is fast approaching. On May 10th, students will take the STAAR Math Test and on May 11th, students will take the STAAR Reading Test. This year all STAAR tests will be online. Our students and teachers have worked very hard this year, and we are confident your student has mastered the skills needed to be successful.
There are several things you can do to help your child have a positive testing experience:
- Please do not schedule doctor or dentist appointments on testing days. Make certain your child gets plenty of rest, eats a good breakfast, and arrives to school on time. Students are required to be in their testing room promptly by 7:55 AM.
- Students will have 4 hours to complete the STAAR test.
- Students will eat lunch in their testing rooms
- All students will need to bring a sack lunch unless you pre-order a lunch
- Students who receive oral administration will need wired headphones
- Air Pods or other wireless headphones are not allowed during state testing
- Students may bring pencils, a lunch, a clear water bottle and a book to read after testing.
- No fast-food deliveries or other drop offs will be permitted on STAAR testing days.
- The campus will be closed to visitors on testing days.
Additionally, we would like to make you aware of a district policy regarding cell phones and electronic devices during STAAR testing. Cell phones, smart watches and all electronic devices are banned from classrooms, hallways, and restrooms during STAAR testing administration. A student discovered to be in possession of a cell phone or electronic device, once testing has begun may be subject to disciplinary action and the test in progress will be marked “no score”. Please encourage your child to leave his/her cell phone at home or turn it into their test administrator on testing days.
Please take note of the additional upcoming 2022 STAAR testing dates:
- May 10: Math 3rd/4th
- May 11: Reading 3rd/4th
Thank you for all you do for the students, faculty, and staff at LPS.
Traffic Flow Helpers
Traffic Flow Team ready for action!!! As part of the LPS vision and mission, parent partnership is a top priority. The Traffic Flow Team is a program for elementary parents to be involved, servant lead and be part of the solution. The Traffic Flow Helpers will be a welcome presence in the Parking Lot to assist parents in the proper flow of traffic. A correct traffic flow is vital to ensure the safety of students, staff and parents during high congestion times. Lets come together and support LPS with a positive attitude and smiling faces. Moms & Dads welcome! Parents can sign up for slots that last only 20-25 minutes. If everyone just takes just one slot, think of the difference we can make. Please make sure you have a background check filled out. Sign in the front office 5 minutes before your shift to get a Traffic Flow Team Vest for easy identification.
Please make sure you have completed a background check. See link below

After School Care with Kelly Skinner
Does your child need after school care and supervision? Help with homework? The AFTER HOURS program at our secondary campus has EXPANDED to include any student from elementary or secondary.
Kelly Skinner runs this program independently of the school, and is an LPS mom who loves our school and students. She substitutes regularly and has been very involved in multiple school activities over the past four years. Elementary students will be walked down to the secondary building by Mrs. Skinner after they are released for the day. The classroom at secondary is currently not in use during the school day as it is assigned to an online teacher.
AFTER HOURS is available for early release days and some Full Staff Development days. During the day your child can expect to play games, complete homework, have chrome book time, play outside or in the gym when available, do art projects, science experiments, and watch a G rated movie on full days. Students need their own snack and water, on full days they also need a lunch from home. We follow all of the normal LPS COVID policies, and pick up is at the Secondary building south parking lot (regular drop off and pick up area).
Please contact Kelly Skinner directly to sign up!
