Testing & Closed Campus
As we approach the testing season, we want to provide you with important information regarding upcoming secured testing sessions for benchmarks and TELPAS. Please mark these dates on your calendars and ensure that your child is well-rested and prepared for these assessments. The results from these tests play a crucial role in gauging their academic progress.
In order to maintain a secure testing environment and facilitate the smooth administration of exams, our campus will be closed on the following dates:
- March 1, 5-8
To help your child prepare for the upcoming tests, consider the following tips:
- Ensure they get plenty of rest the night before each testing day.
- Provide a nutritious breakfast on the mornings of the exams.
- Encourage a positive mindset and remind them to do their best.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we strive to create an optimal testing environment for our students.
Campus Visitors
As we continue to have a great and safe school year with our students please remember the following when visiting our campus:
- All visitors must have a government ID in order to enter the building or pick up a student
- Only contacts listed under your student are allowed to have lunch with them
- Visitors must use adult restrooms. Student restrooms are for Birdwell students only.
