April STAAR Tests
Here are some important reminders about testing:
- We will be on a different bell schedule on test days with different lunch times. Scholars who are testing will be provided a snack and water during their test so no outside snacks are necessary.
- Please know that we will have a closed campus on test days (no visitors or lunch deliveries) to keep our testing environment secure.
- Scholars will be turning in their phones to the test administrator in the classroom for the duration of the test, so if you need to contact your scholar for an emergency, please call the front office.
Digital Citizenship Lessons
Some of the skills we've covered are:
- analyzing news alerts to identify clues of false or incomplete information,
- defining the terms "copyright", "public domain", and "fair use",
- reflecting on what information is safe to share with different types of online friends, and
- analyzing how well we know the people we interact with online.
Athletics/Cheer/Dance Physical Exams
College Station ISD requires athletes and members of marching band, color guard, cheer and dance teams to have a pre-participation physical exam (PPE) completed ANNUALLY.
PPEs for the 2019-20 school year will not be accepted if the physical is dated prior to April 1, 2019.
College Station ISD offers three “Physical Days” in which College Station ISD athletes may obtain a pre-participation physical examination for $10.
A&M Consolidated Middle School – April 24th 1-4:30pm
A&M Consolidated High School – May 1st 3-5:30pm
- Bring attached form with the Medical History portion of the form completed and signed by both the student and the parent.
- Please wear your contacts or glasses, if prescribed.
- Important Note: If your child has a previous medical/orthopedic condition, takes medication, or checks >4 questions as a “yes” in the medical history portion of the paperwork, they need to be seen by their primary care physician.
Completed forms must be submitted under the Athletic Forms tab of your ArbiterAthlete account. Once you have uploaded the form, the paper copy can be turned in to the CSHS Athletic Training room or your Middle School athletics coordinator.
