STAAR Testing Important Reminders
● Please avoid scheduling appointments these days so that your child will be on campus to allow for testing. The state allows for a four hour testing window for the STAAR test, with the exception for students with accommodations that allow extra time set in place through their 504 or ARD.
● Collins strives to begin testing by 9:30 at the latest, taking a break for testers to eat lunch and resume the testing window.
What if your child does not take the STAAR test or does not pass the STAAR test?
The state of Texas has implemented House Bill 4545 for the 2021-2022 school year and plans on having this bill moving forward to support student learning. Please see below from Texas Education Agency for the 2022-2023 school year with regards to STAAR Scores:
