Message from the Director
Testing season gets underway today starting with TAKS retests, TELPAS next week and after Spring Break, and then moving into STAAR and EOCs at the end of the month. Please be aware that due to bandwidth issues, we may have to block access to other sites to allow for a trouble-free testing session in our computer labs. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, but these state-wide tests will receive priority with our internet usage. Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions about this.
Spring Break is right around the corner. Have a great month!
Annette Johnson
