February 13 & 14th Schedule February 9, 2017   Dear Parents of 3rd & 4th Grade Students: Your child will be taking the 3rd & 4th Grade practice math and reading STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) on Monday and Tuesday, February 13th and February 14th.  Students will have 4 hours to work each day. Although this is a practice assessment, we want students to be fully prepared. We recommend a good night’s sleep the evening before and a healthy breakfast each morning. It is important that your child be in attendance at school on these days. It is also important that they arrive by 7:30 AM. If your child is ill and cannot be present this day, they will be taking the assessment on the day that they return to school. Teachers use practice test data to make critical instructional decisions for each child. Students will eat lunch in their classroom both of these days, therefore parents and visitors will not be allowed on campus for lunch on these days.  We recommend that they bring a water bottle and healthy snack with them to have during the testing session. If you have questions about our procedures on these days feel free to contact the office at 972-429-3403 or your child’s teacher. Sincerely, Magan Porter Akin Assistant Principal
