We kicked off testing season with an exciting STAAR Pep Rally featuring a surprise performance by the Copperettes.
Students showed off their knowledge by answering STAAR tips questions, sharing best testing practices and ways to beat test stress for a chance to win prizes. So proud of our students’ confidence, focus, and school spirit! We can't wait to see all their hard work pay off!💙💛










Through classroom lessons and daily practice, our students are learning how to:
✅Use technology responsibly
✅ Communicate positively online
✅Make smart choices that keep them safe
This achievement reflects the dedication of our staff, the efforts of our students, and the support of our families as we work together to build strong digital habits. Way to go, Halstead ! 💙💛
