STAAR Testing Continues this week!
The last day of STAAR testing will be May 2 (Math All Grades and Algebra EOC). Please know that these tests not only let us know how students are doing, but they also can create state required intervention for students who do not perform adequately. This can impact a students schedule for the 2024-25 school year. We are to encourage all students to do their best. Retest opportunities are available the day after the original test if a student is absent. Please help in communicating with your students to do their best!
