General Information for all Testers
Students are encouraged to get a good night’s rest the night before and eat a healthy breakfast before the exam.
Smart Phone/Watches Testing Policy – Students will be asked to power down their cell phones and smartwatches and stow them in their backpacks for the duration of the test. If they do not have a backpack, they will be asked to turn in their cell phone and smartwatches to the test administrator. Students are not allowed to access personal electronic devices while the test is being administered.
The use of phones and laptops will not be allowed until testing is complete, as this will interfere with WiFi access points needed for testing.
Our teachers have been working with students to prepare to take the STAAR EOC exams. All STAAR EOC exams at the high school level are required for graduation. The Texas legislature passed HB4545. HB 4545 establishes new requirements for accelerated instruction including 30 hours of tutoring for students who do not pass (this includes those that do not take) the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®). If you have questions about EOCs, graduation, or HB4545 requirements please contact your student’s counselor.
