Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well. As we approach the testing week, I wanted to remind you of the upcoming STAAR testing schedule for our school:

Tuesday, Apr 23, 2024 5th and 6th Grade Math STAAR Test
Wednesday, April 24, 2024 3rd and 4th Grade Math STAAR Test

Please note that both Tuesday and Wednesday will be a closed campus to ensure minimal distractions for our testing students.

To help your child perform their best on the test, we kindly ask for your support in the following ways:

Rest Well: Encourage your child to get a good night's sleep before the test days.
Healthy Breakfast: Ensure your child eats a nutritious breakfast each morning, as it can help with focus and energy throughout the day.
Arrive On Time: Please make sure your child arrives at school on time on their designated testing day. Late arrivals can cause unnecessary stress for the student.
Additionally, please remember that your child's emotional well-being is just as important as their academic performance. If your child feels anxious or stressed about the test, please reassure them that their best effort is what matters most.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the upcoming STAAR testing, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are here to support you and your child every step of the way.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.

Warm regards,

Bianca Gholston
Principal
