Staar Testing Begins
STAAR Testing Week
Some helpful tips:
1. Please make sure that your children go to bed early on Monday and Tuesday night.
2. Have a nice quiet morning on Tuesday morning and on Wednesday morning so that children can come to school focused and ready for their test.
3. Get to school 5 to 10 minutes earlier than normal so that children can be ready for breakfast and can start the day without rushing.
4. In order to keep the building as quiet as possible during testing days, we will not be using lockers on Tuesday or Wednesday. All students can keep their backpacks at home.
