STAAR Testing Procedures
Ben Milam Families,
As we begin STAAR testing this week, I want to share some of our procedures that begin on Monday:
- We will have a test monitor from the district on campus for each testing day.
- Parents are asked to please drop off students in the carpool lane or at the front door.
- Unfortunately, we will not be able to have parents, volunteers or visitors in the building on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
- STAAR tests will be distributed beginning at 7:45am.
- Testing will occur on all floors of the building as well as in every free room, including the attendance office, in order to accommodate all students.
- Testing will begin shortly after breakfast.
- Many of our students will be testing until the dismissal bell.
Thank you for helping us provide the best testing environment for all students on each testing day.
