Student Placement for 2023/24

It's time for us to work on placing students into classes for the 2023/24 school year. Each year Dr. English asks for input from parents that might help as we work through this process. Some parents include information such as...


"My child is doing well in class this year. Please place him with one or two students from his current class so he will have some familiar faces."


"My child is very good friends with our next door neighbor ________. They play together almost daily. It may not be a good idea to place them in the same classroom."


"My child suffers from test anxiety. Please place her in a class with a teacher who understands how to help children with this type of concern."


Below is the link to the form.

STAAR Testing Dates

This year, all students will take the STAAR test online. We feel confident that students are well prepared as they have been working and testing online all year.


The dates are different this year. Due to online testing, the state is allowing us to space out administrations as necessary. This means students will not be expected to take assessments two days in a row. This change is so much better for our students.


Please see the dates below for specific dates by grade level.


May 9th - 6th grade and 4th grade Math STAAR


May 10th - 5th grade and 3rd grade Math STAAR


May 9th - 11th - Math STAAR
