STAAR Testing
Dear Cottonwood Families,
CISD will be administering the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) to learners on the following dates:
Monday, March 30th: 4th Grade Writing Day 1
Tuesday, March 31st: 4th Grade Writing Day 2
Tuesday, March 31st: 5th Grade Reading
Monday, April 20th: 5th Grade Math
Tuesday, April 21st: 3rd and 4th Grade Math
Wednesday, April 22nd: 3rd and 4th Grade Reading
Wednesday, April 22nd: 5th Grade Science
It is important that we have an environment free of interruptions to ensure our learners have the opportunity to do their best on these important days. Therefore, visitors, volunteers, and parents from all grade levels are not allowed on campus on STAAR test days.
Additionally, cell phones and electronic devices are prohibited in a state testing environment. Please help us enforce this policy and encourage your learner to leave their cell phones and electronic devices at home that day. If it is necessary for your learner to have their electronic device before or after school, it will be collected before testing and held in the office until testing is complete to maintain security.
Please make sure your children get a good night of rest and eat a healthy breakfast on test days. Please send your child to school with a healthy snack and a water bottle for breaks during testing. Learners should arrive at school on time with a positive attitude and motivated to ROCK THE STAAR!!! Thanks for your cooperation in helping our learners perform at their best.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Fleischer
School Counselor
Campus STAAR Coordinator
