3RD - 5TH STAAR TESTING INFORMATION
Testing Environment
Testing days are like no other at school. To comply with state and local policies, we must maintain a secure testing environment at all times. To help you understand the requirements, here are the guidelines used on testing days:
The school is considered in a "testing environment" until all tests have been collected and teachers have been instructed to release the students. Test security procedures are in place this entire time and do not end when a student and/or room has completed testing.
Students may not have cell phones in their possession when we are in a testing environment, this is a TEA/AP requirement. Watches that function as communication devices (such as an Apple watch) have the same restrictions and rules as cell phones. Students may leave them at home, in their locker, or with their teacher. Violations to this policy may result in their test being invalidated as well as being subject to school discipline.
Students will not be released early from the testing room until the end of the four hour testing window; we want all students to have adequate time to pace themselves and not feel rushed. Students leaving early cause disruptions to other students so please refrain from picking up your student early.
Due to a variety of circumstances, we may have students testing at all times during the school day. Therefore, the campus testing rules remain in effect all day.
Visitors are not allowed in secure testing areas, including hallways or other areas where students who are testing may be located. Therefore, no visitors will be admitted on campus throughout the testing day.
HB4545
In June 2021, the Texas legislature passed House Bill (HB) 4545 which updated Texas Education Code (TEC) 28.0211. It is now required for Accelerated Instruction (AI) to be implemented for students who did not perform satisfactorily or did not take the STAAR or high school end-of-course exams.
In accordance with state law, a total of 30 hours of supplemental instruction will be provided during the school year and/or during the summer as needed. This instruction will be focused on the STAAR/EOC area(s) identified and will occur at least one time per week. State law requires this accelerated instruction, and it cannot be waived. For any student who does not pass the STAAR test in grades 3, 5, or 8 in math or reading, the school district is required to establish an accelerated learning committee to develop an individual educational plan for the student and monitor progress.
Bus Route 23 is canceled all week am and pm
