💗Counselor's Corner
Start prepping your classrooms for STAAR testing:
- clean out desks
- Remove anything preventing full view through windows
- Remind students no slouching as puts them in a relaxed position which will increase chance of lethargy and lack of focus and concentration
- Remind students on test day, it will be only one student going to the bathroom at a time
- Ensure students have a chapter book ready
- Remind students, no backpacks on test day for those testing (send Remind message to parents)
- Notify student we will exercise or run them if they are falling asleep during STAAR test to get oxygen to the brain to wake them up
