STAAR EOC
Over the next three weeks, we will be conducting EOC testing. It is time for our students to show how bright they can shine on the STAAR. The STAAR testing schedule will be as follows:
· 4/23 - Biology
· 4/24 - US History
· 4/30 - Algebra I
To assist students in doing their best:
· Make sure they get a good night's sleep
· Make sure they get a good breakfast at home or in the cafeteria.
· Make sure they arrive to school no later than 8:15 AM.
Students will be in their testing room for several hours. To make sure they are as comfortable as possible during this time:
· Students may bring a light jacket or sweater but should not bring blankets.
· Students should bring a book to read for when they finish testing.
STAAR tests are designed to measure what students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade. The goal is to ensure that all students receive what they need to be academically successful. Meeting these individual student needs depends greatly on schools, parents, and community members working together.

Khan Academy
A great resource for students is the Khan academy. The organization has resources for most students grades and specifically high school. Most high school subjects are supported.
In a recent study, students were over twice as likely to meet grade-level standards with Khan Academy. Districts across the country are partnering with us to ensure all their students succeed.
The link to Khan Academy is located at www.khanacademy.org
